Part of the reason the players are teetering on signing a deal is because they say need more time to re-certify as a union and that it "doesn't happen over night like the owners time line suggests." why did they de-certify in the first place then? all it managed to do was hold up a deal getting done.

Can't stand people who swear they know whats "REALLY" going on. NFLPA is "SCARED" of getting sued by its own player(Vince wants concessions)

1) How can they agree on something they have not seen?

I can see that but they can respond with something a bit more positive instead of basically, "we're not going to worry about fans perception..." and "dont be fooled by the media..." and "we're not just going to agree because of this timeline." There are ways of doing and saying things.

Quote:

2) If you were presented with a proposal, wouldn't you want to see how it differs from what you submitted to the other party?

True. But again...how far apart can they be at this point to where the players have to take such a douchebag stance?

Quote:

3) This is how negotiations work. Yes, they're taking their time but they have to to insure both sides are okay with the deal in place.

True as well but we were all under the (false) impression that "negotiations" were pretty much done and that they were just "crossing the 'i's and dotting the 't's." Players make it sound like..."oh this isnt what we wanted...the media is fooling you." You see how this can be irritating to the average fan?

Quote:

4) We know nothing of what's happening on both sides. We've waited this long, what's another month or two IF both sides can say that they are near the middle point.

LOL another month or two? Who the hell wants to wait until the END of September to get this done? At some point, the owners AND players have to let go of certain things and do whats best for the people that actually pay them...the FANS. In negotiations you never get 100% of what you want. Sounds like the players got a huge bulk of what they wanted. It's time to stop the bs and play football and actually EARN all this revenue they want to fight over.

1) I can't agree to their statement. That was a douche move from the fans standpoint. I agree.

2) Again, they have not seen the proposals and the douchebag comments came from a few of the players, not all so in that regards, don't group them up as a whole.

3) Read DeMaurice's letter. NO NEGOTIATINS WERE DONE. The NFL ratified their own proposals, not the one that was presented to them by the NFLPA.

4) We, the fans, have no control over the NFL (minus what we actually pay for). If you do not agree with what's happening, then go elsewhere to buy their product (just an analogy, not telling you to leave the Zone).

Seriously, people need to NOT let emotions take over the reasoning part. IT'S STILL A BUSINESS the NFL/NFLPA run. It'll be over soon enough...

IIRC, they had to decertify in order to force the NFL to lift the lockout a few days after the draft.

Bob is usually full of s**t, but I can totally see V-Jax being a huge problem here.

They de-certified so they can file a CLASS ACTION lawsuit (which they did).
