I think, not 100%, but I think Charles Woodson owns or is part owner of a winery, and the NFL told him to to participate in it, before he bought it many moons ago.

I don't think the league is going to like any part of it.

mildly humorous but also left scratching my head........in essence calling the NFL hypocrites, while he's cashing his huge pay checks that in large part are funded by the machine these same sponsors create?!

I am usually against millionaires crying about things like this, but I 100% agree with him. You can not have your #1 sponsor be an alcoholic beverage, then tell your players, you can not be sponsored about an alcohol product.

I hear you, maybe he should leave the NFL and accomplish his dream of signing an alcohol endorsement. W/o the NFL, Sherman would probably living off eating Campbell soup like the rest of us.

I doubt it, although I really dislike him, he is smart. Listen, the NFL makes money off them, but they make money off the NFL.
The NFL is ran, by a bunch of idiots, talking safety, yet making them play 2 games in 5 days. The reason they get away with it, is because the NFL prints money. If this were the MLB it would cease to operate. Show me another business, where the business is hand over fist stronger than the union.

That makes no sense he's talking about the double standards in the league. It's not about him having an alcohol endorsement.

My original point is that he profits very very well from this "double standard". No job is perfect nor are many nearly as lucrative. I have a problem with him choosing a public avenue to mock his employer, while he's cashing astronomical sized checks that these sponsors funds support. If he has a problem, he should work through his union and advocate for change.

I think you mean that the NFL is run b a bunch of hypocritical jerks, not idiots. Because everything you've said following that statement is a compliment to their business acumen.

He is not the dumbest guy on the planet, but he is not as smart as some have given him credit for. According to scout.com, he got a 3.9 (out of 5.0) GPA and high school and a 990 on the SAT's first try, then a 1060 2nd try.
He says the NFL are hypocrites, but he is kinda being one himself. If he is so opposed to the league, he is free to follow another profession.

The thing that bothers me most is everyone's assumption that "Sherman is smart and knows what he's talking about." Including the media... Screaming a smith called it 'brilliant'.
Because this is flat out dumb.
Who the *** gave Sherman the go ahead to make a statement like this. Criticizing a sponsor that shells out 167 million dollars a year to help pay his and EVERYONE ELSE'S salary is just dumb. Do you want that money to go away? And if you do, did you confer with the rest of the league on that? Are they cool with wages going down?
And for what? To make a point about hypocrisy? Get over it Sherman. Hypocrisy in the work place common everywhere, but we're not making 80 million.
And let's not pretend the nfl is crushing your right to seek endorsements. The official stereo equipment/headphones of the NFL is Bose... You endorse beats by dre. You picked your own sponsor, and you're technically getting paid by both companies. And that's ignoring the fact that the NFL is the only reason you have that opportunity.
Fact is, the NFL is your employer. They have rules just like any other company. Abide by them or take it up with your union.
