NFL players are cut and released from their contracts a reason is never needed. You are arguing that a team needs cause to cut a player, and nothing could be more wrong. I don't know how you can even keep up the charade that you are right. Please prove this to me by either documenting the process of determining the reasons for cutting players, or give me one single example where a charge has been made and sustained for unfair labor practices when an NFL team cut a player. Or show me in the CBA where it says teams cannot cut players without cause. Hell show me anything other you saying you are right because you say you are right.
Now, my original post on this point (in this thread):
Jason Taylor: Bad Fit?
Now, your comment about "any reason" and my response:
Jason Taylor: Bad Fit?
Jason Taylor: Bad Fit?
You're wrong on the "reason" aspect of things, and it's not as if it's even questionable since federal labor law is pretty clear on certain things not being valid reasons for firing. Now, before this gets too heated and you start insisting that I'm still being passive aggressive when I'm actually trying to be polite to a moderator, I'll just tell you to have a nice day and consider this particular conversation between the two of us to be finished.

Your posting comments made before i posted anything in the thread and calling them your response to me.
Please show me the Federal Labor Law that is 'pretty clear' that employees who have negotiated a CBA that includes contracts that allow the employer to terminate them without cause and without penalty are not allowed to be terminated without reason.
You are trying to argue that the Labor Laws that cover Suzy the Secretary apply to a collectively bargained agreement between NFL teams and players that sign contracts stating that the team can terminate the contract at any time without reason.
You are only correct in the absence of the CBA and the player contract.
Ironically, you are spouting that the CBA considers them mandatory and ignoring the fact that the same agreement that creates your argument also defeats it by providing for the condition that every contract can be terminated by the team without cause or reason.
Then you watch NFL teams cut, what 40-50 players each every year and try to argue that they cannot do that because of Labor laws. If labor laws disallowed that how do you sign a collective bargaining agreement that says teams will sign up to 80 players and then MUST terminate enough contracts to retain a maximum of 53? Does the CBA mandate that NFL teams must vioate the law 27 times each summer?
You are much smarter than pushing this lame argument. You know that there is no requirement that an NFL team cite a reason for cutting a player. You have seen it happen with Taylor and TO this month. How you can continue to argue simply because it is the only alternative to admitting you are wrong is beyond me. Especially when the FACT that you are wrong is equal to the FACT that it is Thursday today.
