This clown must be for the players

I love how he says issuing an injunction is the last/ biggest action or whatever but then says the judge WILL do it.

Look the players aren't suffering any harm at all by a missed season and YES decertifying is a sham and a fuging joke.

I am to the point I hope the owners close up shop completely if they lose today. No employee should be able to rule a business and I am one of the many unemployed in the US today! Look you want half the fuging money then pay half the fuging bills. If you draw a paycheck then you are an employee and the employee salaries have gotten out of hand.

Hell break it up into the NFL/ AFL again. Then there are two leagues and no monopoly and the owners aren't subject to anti trust and can set limits on pay just like the rest of us working class have to live with.

I dont know how the players can say that decertification was genuine with a straight face.

[Lumps]

for the players? I don't like to take sides but the players deserve around half.

I like how the NFL likes to send the message that the NFL does not need rookies to draft (doesn't need players like Cam, but really it does to make money), yet here is a FACT; the NFL can still exist without the owners but not the players. The NFL needs their players to make money, these players don't need to pay the bills because they are generating enough to take half AND pay the bills. But on the other hand I do think the players should not get more than the owners in the long run just to keep a balance.

I would propose the extra $ go to the city or charity, not sure why this is a problem.

I don't understand, the owners miss out on money just like the players do. Sure, the owners have way MORE money, but they're still losing a massive profit when the league crumbles like this. The union asserts that the owners were planning to do this from the beginning, but likewise the players union was looking to decertify from the get-go.

It's all bleh to me.

[Jackofalltrades]

I'm for the players.

I'm for the players.

I'm for the owners. The players are employees and should have caps put on them per position like any other union employee does.

[csx]

I'm for football. Though I think the players are way out of line. In the end I don't care who wins or caves as long as their is something to watch this Fall.

You'd think with all the free time bring unemployable has afforded you you'd educate yourself just a little about labor disputes, this one in particular, but it seems you've just focused on having bad opinions and killing handles of mr Boston every afternoon.

You mean it's not feasible to get rid of the owners and just have the players work for themselves and then give the "extra" money to charity?

Congratulations you can formulate an awful strawman.

pretty sure the dunk guy formulated that one

Oh yeah. My b.

I mean the nfl's lawyer argued that the judge int have the authority to issue an injunction. Why the fug did he think that would work?
