In a new segment for his weekly series with The Player's Tribune, Seahawks' cornerback Richard Sherman appears in a four-minute video on how the NFL treats its players. He says that the league sees them like race cars, doing just enough to keep them in good shape to perform, then dropping them once they're no longer on a roster.

All the while the left-wing anti-American NFL front office refuses to let the Dallas Cowboys honor those policemen slaughtered by the Democrat BLM shooter. Let's hope the NFL is a business, and realizes their bottom line is being destroyed by Obamaite Marxists who spit on our troops and law-enforcement authorities.

“'History!' Kaepernick wrote on Instagram Oct. 15 [2015], when he marked 50 years since the Black Panther Party was founded.
Kaepernick has posted 170 photos or videos on his Instagram account in the four years since he created it. Most of his first 128 posts were pics of him in football gear, publicity photos or shots taken with friends.
But 31 of his last 42 posts have strong social justice connotations, often featuring quotes from radical Nation of Islam leader Malcolm X, Black Panthers founder Huey Newton and cop killer Assata Shakur.
During a Sunday news conference about the flag flap, Kaepernick dressed in a black hat with a large, white “X” and a T-shirt that featured photos of Cuban despot Fidel Castro and Malcolm X.”

For anyone who didn't know, the original Black Panthers were a communist-revolutionary domestic terrorist group like Bill Ayers' Weather Underground and the Black Liberation Army. All were Maoist to be precise.

From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES
"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo [the police].
Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.
The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."
To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

I can’t argue with him on that. I love the race car analogy.

Good let’s hurt their bottom line more than the ones they are catering to, to improve it.
Well then quit, and use your Stanford Education, from what I understand you did well, and get a job.
Like, since when has the NFL ever portrayed itself as anything other than a bottom line business? Welcome to the real world Richard. They weren’t paying you all that money because you were such a great guy or anything.
That Sherman fellow is real smart. He must have gone to Stanford or something. Let’s elect him President!
"It was at the Chicago home of [Bill] Ayers and [Bernardine] Dohrn that Obama, then an up-and-coming 'community organizer,' had his political coming out party in 1995. Not content with this rite of passage in Lefty World - where unrepentant terrorists are regarded as progressive luminaries, still working 'only to educate' - both Obamas tended to the relationship with the Ayers."

When it was defending itself from major lawsuits from retired players over long-term damage from concussions, for one.
Even though the season has just started, I have watched only ONE football game which included the Green Bay Packers as participants, I have deliberately NOT WATCHED any other games. I’m sure the NFL doesn’t miss me nor do I miss them either. Perhaps we can get the whinny sno-flake players to “strike” since they have it soooooo bad (sarc) That might be a good thing. I have already started boycotting their advertisers when/where possible.
I’m watching the Dallas Cowboys because of Dak Prescott (a fellow Mississippi State grad). However, if he ever changes his name to Mohammed Abdul Kareem Ali Skyhook, then he’s dead to me.
I don't recall that defense as somehow portraying themselves as anything other than a business.
I think the league will come around on this eventually.
There’s a huge overlap among NFL fans and the crowds that go to Trump rallies.
Allowing players to make political statements on the “clock” is bad for business and will drive fans away to fan friendly entertainment.
NFL is show business.
In the context of Sherman’s comments, they sure did. They certainly pretended they gave a sh!t about the players, when they really didn’t. That was Sherman’s point.
Shocking, just shocking...
The NFL is just like any other business...
I do think he has a good point about the type of support players get after they leave the league to deal with long term physical head trauma many players seen to have to deal with...
I honestly couldn’t tell you what either of these two people do for a living.
Disagree.
If the NFL were a bottom-line business, it would not be pissing-off its customers.
I’ve been done with them for years over their Leftist politics.
Michael Jordan supposedly responded, “Republicans buy shoes, too.” when asked why he wasn’t more active in his support of the Democrat Party.
The brilliant marketing minds in many US companies could learn from that statement.
As are all businesses
Oh no...does that me the beauty queen who had to have a fat check is like a football player. Machado had to stay in shape??? Heaven forbid.
It’s not like others under contract for physical qualities have to do the same, is it, Mr Sherman?
And no one ever called The Refrigerator fat, did they?
