And people wonder why politicians aren't honest. He said the truth. Whether you like it or not, it is what it is. I really don't see how you can crticize people for telling the truth. A survey was done asking people who weren't watching as many games this year. A common theme? The protests. It hurts business. And it isn't illegal. Free speech is a protection from the government. It doesn't mean you have the right to trash others without consequences. 

Nah ratings are down because of some bad games and the debates. Your right that is not illegal now that I did more research. But that doesn't make it right

[The Old Crow]

The interesting thing about this is , from past Irsay comments, I certainly wouldn't call the man conservative. That being said, I fully agree with him on this. As many of you have reminded me over the years, it's not Indy's team, it's the Irsay family's team, and he is the boss. As boss, he can hire and fire based on performance. As with many corporations, and the Colts are one, if your behavior reflects badly on said corporation , you can be terminated based on those rules. Union rules may provide mitigating circumstances, if applicable. I applaud and agree with Mr Irsay on his stance that the NFL is not the appropriate place for this. Players may do so, but ownership has the right to terminate if the interests of the corporation could be harmed. There are ample precedents here. I've donned my old Colts hat today in honor of Mr Irsay !

I hope more colt players, A LOT MORE COLT PLAYERS take a knee. And see if our "embarrassing owner" is willing to fire half the team.

This has been THE problem though. Everyone is talking about the medium and not the message. It has gotten old, and to me it is the lazy thing to do, just protest and do nothing about it. It is like talk without action.

 

Only Doug Baldwin (whose Dad was in law enforcement) and Brandon Marshall (Broncos LB) have taken it to the next level and engaged police chiefs and department heads, talking about training methods, sensitivity training etc. Those are the real guys I commend, personally.

 

However, First Amendment works both ways, right to protest and right to criticize the protest. Protesting does not mean they follow through with action, criticizing the protest does not mean the criticizer suggests that the issue behind the protest does not exist. Again, to me, more protests and criticism of the protests puts focus only on the medium. Just have to let each side have their say, whether you agree with it or not.

 

I do however think it is time for more actions. Since the majority of NFL players are African-American, I would even support a whole bunch of them engaging police chiefs in different cities while they have their days off. It can obviously get more time devoted in the off season and I'd support that too.

Honestly, how is taking a knee creating awareness other than the media hyping this ridiculousness. We've been inundated with all of this stuff from the media, and from the political cycle going on. We all know there are problems that need to be addressed , but it's overkill from these Millionaire athletes. Most of us just want to watch a game, without politics creeping into it. That was all Irsay was saying. It's fine if Kaepernick or Cromartie want to express their feelings. Go to Charlotte or Baltimore and make your voices heard. Can we get away from the politics for a few hours and just watch a football game ?

Just because your are referring to the play on the field does not mean Jimmy needs to be embarrassed by his not wanting for the team to be put in the medias negative spotlight.

This is the way I think a lot of people, including myself, feel. Even if you simply set aside arguments as to whether or not the message makes sense on that particular stage, a lot of us are just burnt out at this point by the political-racial issues that keep getting shoved down our throats by the media. When we turn the NFL on every Sunday we are looking to escape from that. No matter which side of the fence you are on I think most of us as football fans are ready for it just to be a football game again.

What does Jimmy buying guitars with his personal money have to do with this?

Do you always believe what someone says with rumor?

Irsay his self said he doesn't approve of the kneeling. I'm not talking about the rumors that Cromartie was told not to kneel. Your reading comprehension needs work.

 

My point is that no one criticizes him when he buys guitars because it's his own money. Why say he's not in favor of kneeling when it's something a player is doing because of their beliefs? Like his guitar collecting it's not dangerous to the team so why care?

 

Plus a guy with a past substance issue really has no place to cast judgement on people doing something positive.

That logic is so unsound, its laughable. "John doesn't like shrimp, so who is he to say that my chicken tastes bad?" Those things literally have nothing to do with each other. And whether you like it or not, the protests are illiciting a negative response from a sufficiently significant population within the NFL fanbase. So the protests are actually dangerous to his business. 

 

I support the message of the protests and also don't agree with the backlash that they somehow are anti-American or something. But people need to stop being dumb and acting like actions don't have consequences. You can't spit in someone's face and then cry foul when they tear off your lips.

i wouldnt be mad if the team confirmed that is why he was cut

 

my boss could tell me not to protest or i will be fired, and i would have to take that to heart

Why should anyone criticize him for buying guitars? He does that on his personal time. He is the boss, he can do what he wants. Your argument is comparing oranges to apples.

Doing something positive? Maybe in your opinion but to him I doubt it.

He is paying them to be players for his team. Not to draw negative attention to him or his team on company time.

I am quite sure that you yourself have rules and regulations made by your company that they deem appropriate as the way you represent yourself and your company. I know of no businesses that would tolerate actions deemed negative, why should Irsay?

Then you make a comment about no one criticizing him all the same time you just did.

You're describing the at-will employment nature of Indiana.

But players are also human beings. They have the right to express themselves as long as they don't do/ say anything that violates league rules, and isn't hateful or harmful. Seeing as how standing for the National Anthem was never a requirement, players choosing to kneel during it isn't an actual issue. Whatever interpretations make off it is irrelevant because everyone has an opinion but opinion =/= fact and no rules were broken.

 

This is where my thing about Irsay connects. There are some that might look at his live for Rock and collecting guitars as a distraction because it makes him appear to eccentric. You don't see Reggie Wayne saying "Maybe he should focus less on his guitars and more on the time". How Irsay chooses to express himself is his business. He should do the same.

 

That was my overall point that I think I screwed up because of how I worded and presented it. Everyone has non-harmful aspects of their personalities and life that could be judged. Whether you kneel on the sideline during the Anthem, have a foot fetish like Ryan, hangout with rappers like DeSean Jackson, or whatever people shouldn't be judged for how they express themselves. Irsay saying he doesn't agree with kneeling because he doesn't feel the NFL Is the place for it is equivalent to saying that Aqib Talib shouldn't be up in clubs, the Rams players shouldn't have done the hands up thing, or Eric Decker shouldn't have been so open about his sex life on his reality show.

This is a live and let live philosophy. I get it, but it doesn't pertain to this business or corporate world where there are rules and standards that must be adhered to. When an owner fears he may lose money or fans because of controversial behavior of an individual , the smart move is to terminate that individual. The NFL and the Colts are huge corporate entities that are there to make money and entertain fans. They have a certain product , image, and standards that are well known. Certainly these players can make these demonstrations, but they must know that the following week they may be hitting the unemployment line. It is no different than the Yankees ban on facial hair. You don't have to do it, but you risk hitting the road like any other job. That is the owners prerogative .

It's the work environment. He is the employer, so his rules go, as far as the team, if in agreement with the contract during games or practice.  At those times, players aren't individuals, they are Colts.

 

For instance, five years ago I said something to a customer that wasn't exactly my employer's stated desires.  Ten minutes later I got a call telling me that, since I am a good employee, that I had one chance to straighten it out with the customer, apologize, and never do it again.  Or Else.  His job, his rules.

Good point. I see where you are coming from because it's standard policy for owners, GMs and coaches not to talk or put into play why someone is fired. They do not want to be accused of hurting the players chance to find employment with another team.

It is best for all involved to be civil.

You back tracked at the end of your argument. I don't think anyone would disagree that everyone has certain aspects/beliefs that they're entitled to. However, just as Irsay has his guitars during his personal time, Ryan may deal with his foot thing during his personal time. He's not on the field checking out people's feet, and Decker isn't out there trying to tell his teammates about his sex life in the huddle.

I think you are making this issue a lot more deeper than reality.

There have been a few owners who have come out and said they don't have a problem a support what the player are doing.

An owner is not infringing on anyone's free speech rights by letting it be known he expects his players to represent his team as he sees fit while they are on the clock.

The player signed a contract to get paid while on company time. Not to bring negative attention to his employer.

What a player does on his own free time is his business but not on the time he is being paid.

I guess my argument is goes something like this; no corporate law or policy, state, city, municipality or county law trumps the constitution... ever. On the clock, off the clock arguments by business and corporate entities are inferior laws, regardless of how they are purported.

I'm not saying the contract would have likely protected such a demonstration; just saying he had a contract and was not an at-will employee.

 

Professional sports law is mostly a mix of antitrust law, labor law, and contracts law. I'm not an agent, it's not my field, but I have seen plenty of pro sports contracts and they're usually pretty favorable to the ownership but have gotten much more player-friendly in recent years thanks to organized collective bargaining power on behalf of the athletes.

On the field or off, all things get to the public eventually. Like Riley Cooper using the n-word. Didn't do it on the field but it still made headlines and the team had to come out and issue a statement. That's an example of someone doing/saying something damaging. It's not like kneeling on the sideline will get way more attention than stuff people do off it. Not in 2016 where everything is recorded and social media is as huge as it is. It happens at stages as small as high school games and we hear about it. I don't think it affects the team as much as people make it seem. It's Kaepernick who got crucified by the media, not the entire 49ers.

In the opinion of many , this is damaging to the league. No matter what side of the issue you are on, there is a heavy NFL demographic that is Joe Six Pack, patriotic, and wants to get away from the hectic life for a few hours and enjoy a football game. 

 

If the league or owners owners deem a behavior to be damaging to ratings, attendance , or profit , they have the fiduciary responsibility to excise the individual causing damage. 

 

In most sports situations, although it is not always fair, the scrub is made the example of , because the other element to professional sports making profits , is putting out a winning product. So if you are a 33 year old scrub CB that has looked like Elvis "Toast" Patterson the last couple weeks, or a ridiculous back up QB whose better days are behind him, give it a try and see what happens. 

 

Its like being a mediocre worker at Dow, and protesting about the dangers of chemicals. See how long you would last there.
