Protesting NFL Players Won't Face Sanctions (and Ad Revenue Is Way Up)
Posted in: Uncategorized
NFL owners, executives and members of the league’s players union on Tuesday met for nearly four hours to discuss the issues underlying the ongoing anthem protests, but made no move to alter the equation.
“Today owners and players had a productive meeting focused on how we can work together to promote positive social change and address inequality in our communities,” the league and the NFLPA union said in a joint statement afterward.
If nothing of substance was accomplished by the meeting, as expectedno decree was likely to come down today from Commissioner Roger Goodell’s office, as the NFL generally restricts votes on rule changes and league procedures to the spring owners meetingsthe statement at least suggests that the sides would keep the lines of communication open. After noting that the goal is to “utilize our platform to promote equality and effectuate positive change,” the owners and players “pledged to meet again to continue this work together.”
