Shirtless Maurkice Pouncey doesn't even try to hide his disgust for the NFL's latest CBA proposal by posting NSFW video
Maurkice Pouncey found an interesting way to share his thoughts on the new NFL labor negotiations between the owners and the players’ association.
Make no mistake, Pouncey wants no part of the deal.
The NFLPA leadership has agreed to a deal with the owners that would allow owners to expand the regular season to 17 games and expand the postseason. Now individual players must vote on the deal with a majority vote required to make the deal official.
Here are some other items listed in the new deal that will be voted on, aside from the 17-game regular season and expanded playoffs, per ESPN:
- A cap on the number of international games and that there would not be a full week of such contests. More likely is a continued mix of games in England (and other European sites) and Mexico. Most team schedules will have nine home games and eight road games in alternating years.
- Training camp padded practices would be reduced from a total of 28 to 16. A five-day acclimation period would precede summer practices. There would be more days off during camp — eight instead of five — and a limit on joint practices.
- No extra bye week in the regular season, something that had been discussed. However, teams basically would have two weeks to prepare for the season opener, with the elimination of the fourth preseason game.
- Rosters would expand from 53 to 55, with 48 players able to dress for games rather than the current 46. Practice squads would go from 10 players to 12 and eventually to 14, probably by 2022. There would be more flexibility for protecting practice squad players from becoming free agents.
Reaction to this news led to Pouncey sharing a video of himself driving shirtless and expressing his disappointment with the details of the deal.
Keep in mind, this video is NSFW. It takes him until the third word to start cursing.

They’ve eliminated 2 a-day practices and padded practices before but I’m not sure it’s reduced injury. It would be nice to see if there has been a study that reveals if it has or not. I’m surprised the players are agreeing to this. It seems not having to practice as hard is worth more to them than better health benefits, which they will regret when they find out 5 years after they retire how important having paid health insurance is. It’s amazing how little they are listing to those who are in that costly position right now. If I were a player no way I would be voting in favor of this.
The players would be dumb to take this deal.
The Pounceys have never been shy about voicing their opinions. I’m glad he stood up and said it.
Said what? All he did was curse a lot.
Try as I might, I struggle badly to summon much sympathy for the NFL’s Exploited Rank and File, this one making $11M a year with half of each year off the job. Very much why I’ve mostly given up on pro sports. Yawn.
