In the end football is a business first

[Sully]

We have been told over and over again by the players, owners and the media, football is a business FIRST ! ! ! !

Fans ( short for fanatics ) do NOT treat football as a business but a passion.

So when their team loses, it is treated as a national disaster within their life. If they only switched their jerseys, sat in a different position or some other superstitition, their team could have won.
When they win, they are so so proud, like they had anything to do with it.

Players/Owners and media care about the money....period. They can buy their own ring but its the financial security they strive to get. If winning happens after they get their "security", it is a nice bonus that comes with commercials, stardom and maybe even a future within the media.

In the end, Jerry gets his money and viewers while the suckers keep pointing fingers at the players. Rinse, repeat until the next crop of players and coaches.

I don’t think it’s just a business
You can have a passion for any job and give it your very best yet still want to get paid
Many players and owners want to win and do their very best to win
That doesn’t mean they don’t want to make money too

The love you give is equal to the love you get

 

[MWH1967]

Yeah, well can't argue that point but, some do enjoy it.

Never said player do not want to win. I said the MONEY is more important than winning. It is a business to them.
It is why players hold out for more, owners cut players that don't perform because they are wasting $$$ on them.
The Thanksgiving game between the Raiders and the Cowboys delivered an enormous television audience.

CBS announced today that the game drew an estimated 38.531 million viewers. That makes it the most-watched regular-season game since 1990. It's about the money.

While I agree it's all about the money, the bottom line is, as a fan, I want to see the games decided by the players on the field and the coaches on the sideline.

Yesterday's game, with 14 penalties called on each side, was an absolute abomination. I saw Shaun Hochuli more than Dak Prescott and Derek Carr. It's time the NFL does something with the officiating. Unless something is egregious the yellow laundry doesn't need to be aired out.

Well Goodell said it's entertainment business like wrestling...straight WWE. Also, he said Tom Brady is his Champion in so many words.

This is why I just watch the games, enjoy the entertainment, and hope the Cowboys win.

If a Cowboys loss is adversely impacting your life then it's time to reassess your priorities.

And that's why the refs ruining the product is inexcusable.

Without a doubt. If I see another game like the one yesterday I'm not watching the NFL for the rest of the year.

Reality is not kind

As long as we..or any Cowboys fan supports Jerruh's Clown show things won't change. Maybe so many of the opposing teams fans showing up at Jerruh's palace is a good thing

 

[RaZon]

All those who are fed up with it all, stop watching it. I don't care about refs, I love the action and the great athletes and the history of it all, hell, how exciting was this....



.....I think I'd hang in there, the crybabies can dump it. Wish they would so we wouldn't have to read all the negativity, and all that wahwahwah.

 

[Streifenkarl]

Can we please also have an "everything is fixed / the NFL and refs want to impede Cowboys success" super merger thread? So many of these lately...
