So is it a strike now instead of a lockout?

[Zod]

Owners approved a new deal and doors are open, players are refusing to accept and work.

Sounds a lot like a strike to me.

[Kurb]

I think the NFLPA needs better muzzles.

All the players wanted to do was look over the doc's.

Idiots like Heath Evans started spewing all over twitter and caused a feeding frenzy of disinformation.

[Happy Panther]

I think the deal was agreed upon by the owners contingent upon the NFLPA ratifying. Also parts of the deal are only valid if the players are part of a union.

It's not exactly a strike but I guess you could label it that if you like.

[Double34Trouble28]

It doesn't even matter. It's just a bunch of blabbering by the media, this crap they've been talking about last night and this morning is being blown way out of proportion I think. They will sign it.

Lol... it's funny, Heath and other players where blabbing about how the owners snuck in terms, tricked them, changed what they agreed to....

BUT..... They never even had the final agreement that all of this talks about until after the meeting was over!!

So my question is, how would you know the NFL snuck terms into an agreement that you are yet to see????

[TruCatzFan]

Yes Zod... The Lockout is officially over... The owners have lifted it but can't open doors until the union re certifies because they can get sued otherwise...

I stated this same thing yesterday, only I called it a holdout... Same difference...

Let's see if anyone here has the balls to put u on the cross like they did me last night... I doubt it!

[CatMan72]

Total knee-jerk reaction by the players without having even seen the proposal... on one hand they're complaining about things the owners "sneaked in" to the deal and on the other hand they're saying they haven't seen the proposal...

According to Mort, now that they've actually read the proposal they like it, LOL

[YoungPanthers89]

Go ahead and sign that pos then

[Sam Mills Fan]

As I was told repeatedly last night, the players haven't even rejected it yet, so go F yourself Zod. What do you want them to do, approve it within minutes of the owners ratifying it?

[2jakefansinva]

I thought the players have rep's at the table. If the deal was rotten........ don't ya think they would be screaming from the roof tops?

I would like the player representatives (Buffalo) not to come out and say, tweet, or communicate about the NFL tricking them and sneaking in terms to an agreement they had not yet received.

Just say we do have it yet, need time to evaluate, and that's it. All the other spew they where putting out last night was as if the deal was in front of them and they were very upset with the actual deal. It was not just buffalo, that was the tone coming out from multiple player reps which triggered down to the players and caused their reactions.

So yes I would have liked to see 5000% better communication from the NFLPA about what was really going on instead of starting a smear campaign against the NFL... we should be past that now.

You have to have a union to have a CBA otherwise its illegal and people could sue you. So I don't see how that's a big shock to the players. Its hard to believe that college educated people can be this stupid.

College educated NFL players. Now that's a stretch. :smilielol5:

Obviously not very educated at all... Have you read their tweets?

They are literally incomprehensible with horrid subject verb agreement...

The funniest thing to repeatedly see if the anchors on ESPN correct them in the fly... They always end up stuttering and trying to make the moronic players sound good...

Alas, it really doesn't matter, because when u put them in the field it really doesn't matter. That's why we love the NFL... The guys can play the game...

Well, that and they're more rich than all/most of us will EVER be...
