re: #364 Dark_Falcon

Agree with both. Goodell is in the pockets of the owners. And the owners saying they want integrity and safety in the game are full of shit. Can I get either of you an $8 beer?

As a Republican I normally don’t side with present-day unions, but in this case I am going to make an exception. The owners aren’t facing the kind of cash crunch that killed pensions in other industries. They can pay enough that the refs will settle, they just don’t want to. Their actions are simply those of greedy assholes who are OK with other people being physically hurt by a situation they could resolve by overcoming their greed.

Thus I this case I say: “The union is in the right, and the NFL owners must pay the referees their pensions.”
