What would happen?

[coult44]

Ok guys, completely hypothetical, play along..

What would the NFL do if Cowboys took a major stance and decided to "hold out" as a team? Owners, coaches, players,everyone, complete unity. They all just decide not to show up at game time? Discuss impacts on all sides.

I for one think it would be awesome. Money talks. How much money would the NFL lose if Jerry and Company decided to take part in the biggest protest in sports history?

dont need. just dak/dez/jaylon/lee should go on a sabbatical and jerry can pay them under the table.

 

[LocimusPrime]

The NFL could probably sue Jerry for a lot of money

 

[Solution]

It would forever tarnish the image of the cowboys and make us all look like the biggest cry babies to ever exist.

There are a thousand more subtle things they could actually do.

Jerry could do a national interview and blast Goodell and vow to have him fired.

 

[Cowboys22]

Jerry would be out a ton of money.

under the table.
no one can stop dak, lee, jaylon and dez from taking a sabbatical.

 

[waldoputty]

jerry can easily afford it.
question is how he can do it without being sued.
this would work.

The league would lose nothing. The TV contracts are in place. Jerry would lose hundreds of millions.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

They will have no good come from taking such a ridiculous stance as a team.

 

[Chuck 54]

Believe it or not, any action that hurts the NFL, including revenue, could lead to a vote by owners and Jerry could be forced to sell the team. Most fans don't get that owners cannot do whatever they want; they also signed a contract and must abide by it.

No need to do that. Just make them inactive for a couple high profile games.

I think it could even allow the other owners to force him to sell the team.

There are clauses in their franchise agreements that prevent this sort of thing.

Jerry cannot stop Dak/Dez and a couple others from taking a sabbatical.

^^^^ This

This would forever tarnish the Star. We'd look like Commander fans. I can't think of anything worse than that.

good idea.
injury report entries needed though.

They don't have to be injured to be inactive.

The league would remove Dallas from the schedule, play the regular season with 31 teams, crown a champion in February, and deal with the Cowboys during the 2018 offseason.
