Spoke this afternoon to about a dozen NFL veterans. They said at the root of their problem right now is that they don’t actually have a player’s union - and the protections provided by such a thing.
The @NFLPA is not a union. It has little to not power.
NFL players also do not have a central method of communication with one another. No central email list or text message system. They have group chats and email threads with their team or friends, but struggle to communicate one message to all players in the league.
The league is 70% black. Show me the next 70% blacks who are going to suit of for this and who will be watching? I guarantee they can't find that many players in a short amount of time. #BoycottNFL
Wow. Not talking about race here. There are good players all around.pic.twitter.com/TChPIImEFN
This particular issue seems like a fairly easy fix for someone technically savvy...
A reasonably bright 15 year old could take care of that in about 15 minutes. And he'd probably do it in exchange for an autographed jersey or two. You're welcome.
I’ll build an app
I love that you’re about action! Give us an update when it’s done!
Gee. It's as if the owners want it that way. Gross.
And now even the retired player NFLPA chapter officers are no longer given contact info for all members only the DC office has that now.
The need to organize
I'm not sure how the communication issue can be a real issue. Are you saying not one of these guys has enough money to have their agent or other rep make this happen. I'm sure there's a kid at home right now with a box of trading cards that could make it happen pretty quickly.
http://Slack.com One person sets it up and you just need an email address to join. Plus you can create different channels within the group to address different things as well as message individuals directly instead of the entire group. Oh yeah, and it'sfree
What?! Aren't they all millenials at this point? Snapchat. Slack. Something else that starts with an S that I'm too old to know about. The entire league is too young to even remember dial-up. Jesus, #NFL get your shit together.
So.. they get one guy from each team in a group. That person passes on the info. How hard can that be?
With the type of money collectively, there shouldn't be no communications issue. WOW...
