I was reading some of Tre Boston Tweets, and he mentioned something along the lines of it is not worth it for him to play football just for our entertainment. I think he was talking more along the lines of protection from players, but it seems he is not on board to playing. I wonder how many other players feel the same way? He also mentioned there is talks about if they do not play, do they still get paid this year.

I always have to chuckle when professional athletes talk about doing it for "our entertainment" as if it's some type of charitable effort. Let's be real, they do it for a poo ton of money.

I don't think football is played this year. As for pay, who knows? Not sure what the CBA might say about something like this or if the NFL carries any type of insurance that night cover this type of situation.

They obviously should not get paid if they don’t play. How many regular people in regular jobs get paid to not work? Players can collect unemployment benefits if they’d like.

if they don't play they don't get paid and they also don't accumulate another season on their contract

He was also mentioning the UNC Players that have tested positive as not being worth it because they do not get paid. ( Boston is an UNC Grad) However, he also mentioned the Entertainment thing.. I am confused? I can understand College players not getting paid to play football, but the NFL pays you Millions to play. Alot of us go to work everyday, expose to this Virus, we are not being paid Millions to do it.

The NFL already said they are withholding 33% of the players pay this year if the league doesnt happen this year. Also, players contracts are written pay check for game. So really, players will only earn their signing/yearly bonuses, gauranteed money and other stipulations within their contract.

also, I think its evident that the NFL is waiting to see how the NBA playoffs work out before pushing forward with aggression. Even the GMs of teams have said they have no idea what the plan is.

Boston is a very intelligent and bright young man. He has a very prestigious UNC degree and if wanted to, could be very successful in other areas. I applaud him speaking out.  North Carolina produces very astute young men and women.

My son went to UNC and he and Boston were buddies.  (photo of him with Tre at OTA during Tre's rookie season).  He said that Tre is not all about football--he is intelligent, funny, and well-rounded.  FWIW.  My son said that Boston is an average player at best, but would be a good team representative.  He is very politically-aware--and that was before the current political situation.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
