lol @ the NFLPA. Thought they decertified as a union? Owners have to be salivating at this.

DeMarurice Smith is a fuging tool.

To try and deprive the honor of walking the stage for these young men to make a statement is childish.

This is a dream of every football player.

fug the NFLPA!!!!!!!

LOL at the NFLPA trying to ruin the biggest moment in these young kid's lives to try to get some more money.

Plus I thought they decertified. There is no NFLPA. Their cute fugging website is no longer found right??

What a sham. I was on their side on most of the stuff until last week. Now i JUST HOPE THEY GET FUGGED OVER.

I'm pretty sure they've broken some legal ground telling prospects to boycott.

And people will continue to defend these tactics.

Then aren't they tampering by communicating with players and prospective players if the don't represent them?

Ok, The Draft and that entire spectacle is an NFL product. The players are officially locked out by the NFL. Why would they be there? The gloves came off as negotiations were over. If I was the Union I would also ask the players not to show up. If I was a player I would probably not want to alienate my peers on my first day. If I the "NFL" network or whomever the network that is broadcasting the draft I would be pissed. I just look at this like another incentive on getting done quicker. I mean it's not like the players aren't still going to be drafted.

It's still an organization that represents the players. It's just not legally a union, but a trade association.

DeMaurice Smith is everything wrong with America in one walking talking bag of oxygen theft.
