Pro athletes have contracts with the team, not TV stations. There is nothing even close in terms of ratings to replace the NFL on TV so that will never happen. Returning NFL branded things will mainly hurt the NFL and not any players. Their paychecks are safe as long as they contribute to winning. As does Donald, the NFL puts a premium on winning.
well since you know so much about NFL operations, you obviously know that player protests have been within the player code of conduct and withholding funds from teams would open the door to the NFL being sued by the teams. player code of conduct can only be changed at the end of the year and it must be brought to a vote and passed by the team owners. as the saying goes.... there is always next year.

The NFL pays the teams, the teams pay the players. Each team gets an equal cut of the profits. Cut the profits, the teams lose money.
