The NFL really didn't lose a lot of money from kneeling: TV ratings down, team revenues up: have protests really hurt the NFL?
The decrease in ratings is more likely attributable than people shifting how they view games, especially since team revenues increased during the time.
Plus latest polling is showing more and more support for Black Lives Matters protests. People that are against it are in the minority. If the NFL gives in to the minority, they make the majority mad and would lose more money.
That all ignores the fact the NFL is a primarily black league. Make the players mad and the league loses all revenues.
Kneeling came from a discussion between a Green Beret and Kaep on how to best protest. There's nothing offensive to kneel at the flag.
There's an actual law on how to respect the flag, kneeling isn't in there: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/4/8
Things that are:
The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature. - so things like the blue lives matter flags disrespect our flag
The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. - so people wearing the flag show more disrespect for the flag than kneeling
It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. - don't use flag napkins this weekend as that is also more disrespectful
Uh that part that likes to be pointed out about the flag is referring to using an ACTUAL flag as part of clothing. Not a RWB design or white and red striped clothing etc which is totally fine. And it definitely doesn't mean a red white and blue flag design on napkins is inappropriate
How about to end these stupid debates DONT play any anthems. Or if you do then play it while the players are inside the locker room. I watch football on the weekends for fantasy, Bills and relaxing after a work week. I don't want f***ing political or social statements shoved in my face the entire 3 hours.
Didn't know each ____-American sub group had their own anthems. Any kneeling allowed for these other anthems?
10 year extension for Mahomes.
Bet this was a way for KC to bring the cap # way down to stay competitive while still getting Mahomes big time, record-setting, guaranteed $.
My uneducated guess: 10-years, $300M. $200M guaranteed (some mix of signing bonus and yearly game/workout guarantees).

NFL contracts are crazy.New reports suggest it is NOT linked to cap as first thought.
I still don’t know how you field a super bowl team with a 45 million dollar QB. Mahomes is the best in the game, but I don’t know if that is enough given the inevitable toll of a contract like this on the talent level around him.
will be interesting to see how it works out. Good for him. At least he seems like a genuinely good guy.
How happy is Kim that they didnt draft Mahomes?
To expand on this. Here's a very very dumb example of what Pat Mahomes contract could look like. It's ignoring all bonuses except signing bonus.NFL contracts are crazy.
EXAMPLE: Matt Ryan
- Signed a 5 year $150M contract
- Signing Bonus $46.5M
- Guaranteed at signing $94.5M
- Total guaranteed $100M
You would think the cap hit would be in the neighborhood of $30M a year, right? Cap hit each year is: Base + (Signing Bonus / Contract Term) + Other Bonuses that year. So for Ryan:
- 2018: Base $6M SB $9.3M Other Bonuses $2.4M = $17.7M cap hit
- 2019: Base $2.75M SB $9.3M Other $3.75M = $15.8M cap hit
- 2020: Base $1.05M SB $9.3M Other $8.6125M = $17.9625M cap hit
and so on...
"Easy" to manipulate the cap hits (up front at least) by playing with yearly base, signing bonus, guarantees, other bonuses, incentives...
Year | Base | SB | Cap Hit |
1 | $ 5,000,000 | $ 20,000,000 | $ 25,000,000 |
2 | $ 10,000,000 | $ 20,000,000 | $ 30,000,000 |
3 | $ 15,000,000 | $ 20,000,000 | $ 35,000,000 |
4 | $ 20,000,000 | $ 20,000,000 | $ 40,000,000 |
5 | $ 25,000,000 | $ 20,000,000 | $ 45,000,000 |
6 | $ 25,000,000 | $ 20,000,000 | $ 45,000,000 |
7 | $ 25,000,000 | $ 20,000,000 | $ 45,000,000 |
8 | $ 25,000,000 | $ 20,000,000 | $ 45,000,000 |
9 | $ 25,000,000 | $ 20,000,000 | $ 45,000,000 |
10 | $ 25,000,000 | $ 20,000,000 | $ 45,000,000 |
TOTAL | $ 200,000,000 | $ 200,000,000 | |
TOTAL POTENTIAL | $ 400,000,000 |
Probably bonuses for games played/started or other bonuses tied to things that the team can control?Now it is being reported as a 503 million dollar deal with a no trade clause and multiple outs for Mahomes if “guarantee mechanisms aren’t exercised.” Whatever the hell that means.
Seems like a very player friendly deal.
