NBA analyst Jalen Rose Thinks NFL Players Should Strike For A Week
© Raj Mehta-USA TODAY Sports
Houston Texans owner Bob McNair didn't help the NFL's protest issue this week when he compared the national anthem protests to “inmates running the prison”. NBA analyst Jalen Rose, threw his two cents in saying he wishes the NFL players would strike for a week to send a message...

It wouldn't be a game changer. Lol People would react negatively to that and not care.

This form of protest is as effective as standing in the middle of the street

His statement shows that he zero sense about running a business or building market value. The inmates actions have caused the drastic free fall of popularity of NFL football. He's telling the inmates to keep control of the prison and make sure this thing sinks completely. Then, in 5 years, player contracts will be under 1 million per year. Who lost then? Everyone in the NFL! Players, coaches, owners, etc. Just shut up, quit being political, and go play the game. People will forget and the NFL will rebound! I haven't watched a game in 2 years and will not until this changes.

What has Mr. Rose done for him to assume that his opinion is of any real value? However, in an attempt to study the effects of CTE, the NFL should cancel all games indefinitely. Since half of the NFL players are bankrupt within 5 years of ceasing their NFL careers anyway, this action may allow them to find more lasting employment- without fear of CTE. By ceasing the NFL, the players would no longer be mistreated.

The only problem with that is they live their checks more than anything. So it won’t happen. They wouldn’t receive a game check and would be fined for being AWOL per their organizations rules.

Players only get paid by the team during the season. If a player makes $8 million a year, they are actually only getting 16 pay checks for the whole year (not including signing bonus). Those checks would each be for $500,000 each. No player is passing up that.

What an absolute retard. This thinking is exactly the issue. Morons constantly think with emotion instead of their brains. It’s a business dumbass. The owner can do or say whatever the frick he wants. The employee is more than welcome to walk away as well. But see, without the nfl the owner is still rich and the player is unemployed selling insurance on commission. Great advice dipshit

Both teams could agree to tank the game for 3 quarters by having the RB walk in a circle for 15 minutes without tackling him for 3 plays in a row, then play one legitimate quarter. Would certainly get attention and you get to cash your game check all the same.

Then sponsors start bailing and the free fall accelerates!

What an absolutely genius idea, but why play anything with legitimacy? This would help their low credibility and ultimately get them what they deserve. Why don’t you try to get that going.
