'We' Have the Power!


[More]
Yeah? What percentage of the people who buy the tickets and/or watch the games to determine ad revenue value are "you"? And "you" are unified?

Or by "hav[ing] the power," are you talking strike? Believe it or not, life would go on for most -- and for some of us, without change.  If you're not going to take the actual life-altering hit the players would, such egging on reminds me of what Tonto replied to the Lone Ranger when he said "It looks like we're surrounded by Indians."
"What you mean 'we'?"
Collectivists and economics -- who better to decide how things will be apportioned?

Besides-- no one is talking about "silencing" anyone. We're simply talking about appropriate times and places. That and the freedom of choice to respond.

Figures this guy butters his bread over at CNN. And sorry, but He-Man couldn't resist a bit of funnin':

11% of the population, that's not even the largest minority holds 70% of the jobs in an industry? Looks like there's a need to level the "playing field" to me.

I''ll agree with PatH the NFL is overdue for some EEOC action ! OTOH, making this a "racial thing" might not work too well, since that "70%" only has a job so long as fans of every color and race support their money machine !
