In response to "the owners have blackballed him for seven years (despite this being the apparent announced policy of the league) -- nm" by hollywood big shot

Correct. The owners. Not NFL or Goodell.

The owners (who have shown over and over again they have no soul or morals) decided his on-field value was not worth the off-field impact.

Responses:

I would agree with the caveat that Goodell doesn't take a crap without the owners' say so. -- nm - Reagen May 22, 11:13 15
- Yes. Which means if the owners told him to say something about Colin, he... would've said something? -- nm - Strongbad May 22, 11:27 13
  - I mean they weren't going to trot him out there to confirm it. -- nm - Reagen May 22, 11:30
  - blackballing, how does it work -- nm - hollywood big shot May 22, 11:28 11
    - Or maybe, dude wanted to be paid starting QB money and nobody was willing to do that? - Strongbad May 22, 11:31 10
      - That's a non-starter as an argument. We've watched total scrubs get paid starter money. He was an eyelash away from winning a Super Bowl. - David May 22, 11:36 9
        
        It's a fact that you can't prove? - Strongbad May 22, 11:38 8
        
        I can prove that the NFL cut him a check to get the lawsuit out of court, which is more than you can say with your theoreticals. -- nm - David May 22, 11:39 7
        
        Absolutely. People settle court cases all the time. - Strongbad May 22, 11:43 6
        
        Also, at one time 30ish similar owners refused to let black QBs play. All the way to the early 1980s. -- nm* - Inigo May 22, 11:58 3
        
        Is there a good example of this? - Strongbad May 22, 12:43 2
        
        Condredge Holloway would be another. -- nm* - Reagen May 22, 12:48
        
        Moon had to go to the CFL to be able to play pro QB. - Reagen May 22, 12:46
        
        I have a really hard time believing that the NFL would settle a collusion case unless they thought they'd lose. - Inigo May 22, 11:55
        
        And yet here we are... -- nm - David May 22, 11:45
- Is he the most constipated man in sports? -- nm - Beryllium May 22, 11:14
lol okay. the owners are the league. Goodell is their errand boy -- nm - hollywood big shot May 22, 11:13
