There won't be any scabs/replacement players if the Owners lock the players out

[dimbee]

Scabs are brought in when the Players strike, not when the Owners lock the players out. When the players are locked out, there is no football. No replacement players, unfortunately. :(

Yes indeed it would... I wonder if College Football could tweak the scheduling to have Sunday games in addition to Saturday games... they could crush it!!

We need, like, a new user FAQ, or something.

No, there will not be scabs.

No, we're not getting new uniforms.

No, we're not putting a Panthers logo at midfield.

What about a Remember Arizona banner?

there is the posibility that the owners offer one last final deal and the players don't accept therefore they end up going on strike, or something or another.

a strike is still possible

No, a strike is only a possibility when a Collective Bargaining Agreement is in effect and the Players feel it is unfair and thus go on strike. As the Owners opted out of the CBA, there is no way for the players to strike. The Owners can lock the players out, but there is nothing that the Players can go on strike against. This was the gambit card the Owners played. Strike a deal on our terms or no football for anyone.

A strike is not possible with no CBA in place.

Now, the players could agree to the Owners CBA and then go on strike but that would so badly wound their perception that it would only hurt them more, IMO
