Nah. They'd try to muster what leverage they have
and try to improve the situation.

Leverage? What leverage?

If people were willing to put up with a Ref strike for a season, do you really think they'll care if they watch #2 running backs?

The public at large could care less.

"whatever leverage they have"

And yeah, I do think -- thought it would never happen -- people would care. I also think people here would
do the same in their jobs...maybe it is not a lot of leverage in their jobs or for RBs but most human beings
want to be valued.

As I have said, when people say "market" value---the NFL is not a "free market". It's a cartel
and price fixing and antitrust protection from congress---things other businesses don't have.

I get that some people think it is a market--they can think that, but it's not accurate.

But yeah ... people want to see the top players, not scrubs.

  At least runnung backs cannot be replaced by AI

  And a an incentive for owners could be part of it

JimYoungblood5353July 23, 2023 04:49PM

  I might be behind the times but I am still in favor of picking a RB in the first round of the draft
