How do the charges impact their cap space?

They don't, until such time as the Patriots organization files a grievance with the NFLPA to be free from the salary cap hit from Hernandez's contract.

And that will be NFL news, and would (of course) be allowed.

Until then, this isn't NFL news. Hernandez being charged - in and of itself - is as relevant to the NFL as what Tebow had for breakfast, and less interesting.

Ok, so yesterday when a former NFL player got tazed after a drunken scooter chase, how was that NFL news? Is he more of a former NFL player than Hernandez?

[–]Patriotspatsfan94 16 ポイント17 ポイント

So using that logic why are reports about the death of former players who haven't been in the NFL for decades and Jim Kelly's cancer battle allowed?

[–]BroncosSolus90 13 ポイント14 ポイント

Why do Jim Kelly posts get approved then? He is no longer involved with the NFL.

[–]TitansJezusGhoti 7 ポイント8 ポイント

I urge you to reconsider. Your stance on this is wrong.

[–]afrwafarwgarwg 14 ポイント15 ポイント

This is stupid. Its the fucking offseason and it definitely involves the NFL. If ESPN is talking about it then it obviously involves sports and the nfl. This is bullshit.

[–]Patriotsarichi 0 ポイント1 ポイント

If ESPN is talking about it

Just to clarify: you want us to allow posts about what Tim Tebow had for breakfast?

[–]NFLCatzonVinyl 7 ポイント8 ポイント

Just to clarify: you don't?

[–]afrwafarwgarwg 3 ポイント4 ポイント

It's the offseason, there is nothing else to talk about.

[–]PatriotsTheungry 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Unlike linear stream feeds, we can downvote that crap, so it's not that big a deal.

[–]BroncosSolus90 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Of course not, Tim Tebow isn't a current NFL player.

is as relevant to the NFL as what Tebow had for breakfast, and less interesting.

I'm sorry. I respect the difficult job mod's have, and I realize they need to draw lines in the sand, but you're wrong on this one.

This has an impact on the current landscape of the NFL.

Also, if Tebow signed as a RB in the CFL, I doubt you would delete that post. And that has less to do with the NFL than this,

[–]GiantsDezBryantsMom 5 ポイント6 ポイント

Yes it is. It's a player who was in the league like last year. It's related and clearly people want to read and discuss it.

How does this differ from a retiree dying or Ryan Leaf getting arrested?

[–]ChiefsJohnnyFootballHero 2 ポイント3 ポイント

I agree with your reasoning, but I think Hernandez being charged is pretty damn interesting.

[–]49ersIAmADuckSizeHorseAMA 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Shouldn't the community decide what it does and doesn't want to see and read about? I think there is an overwhelming interest in this sub in this story. I'm not a mod anywhere and I do appreciate the good work you all do here, but I mean, it's the offseason and this is a big story of interest...

[–]Lionscramin2 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Number 1 tip to a well-run subreddit: Never let the community decide the rules.

[–]Balves426 2 ポイント3 ポイント

Isnt it nfl news though in the fact that hes basically done similar to news about a player retiring

[–]Saintspottersquash 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Good point. I do think you have a bug-a-boo with Jim Kelly's cancer news. Although, a HOFamer (he is, isn't he?) with cancer is more newsworthy/relevant to NFL than this. But its a close call.

[–]Billsbrunners90 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Why do you allow a ton of other posts about players who aren't in the league anymore then?

Either you have one rule and stick to it or you remove the rule, you can't just pick and choose where you apply it.

[–]Patriotsglatts[S] 0 ポイント1 ポイント

By this logic, there should be nothing in r/NFL about the draft. Have any of them played for an NFL team? No. Until then, it should not be considered NFL news.

[–]x2y3 -1 ポイント0 ポイント

You're a stupid cunt on a power trip.

[–]Eaglesgreenrider04 -3 ポイント-2 ポイント

TLDR: We make up rules, so suck it bitches!!
