Bull! The owners only agreed the deal that both sides decided to for well over 4 months. Not thier fault the players are having buyer remorse!

Well that is a close minded response. Basically you are saying my (being your) opinion is correct and mine isn't because I am letting my emotions get into it. That is totally false.

I personally don't like any union. I am a conservative so more pro-business I guess.

So what you're saying is that you're close minded.

Self pwnage.

No, you can't read. I am only stating my opinion.

At no point did I say that others opinions are wrong because they are letting their emotions get into it, like Kidash98 did. Which implied my opinion wasn't valid.

Little over-reactive this morning?

Exactly. They negotiated on this for 4 months. Now the players say the owners changed s**t. Well, outline what that s**t is. Don't just keep saying they changed stuff without providing specifics. That leads me to believe you have read the negotiated on proposal and some on your side don't like certain aspects and want the owners to make more concessions. That is just how I read it.

There was only one problem. The owners had not voted to accept a negotiated, collectively bargained agreement. They were doing little more than voting to approve their own deal. Neither the NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith, nor NFLPA President Kevin Mawae, nor any of the player reps had even seen the agreement the owners voted upon. It reportedly includes a series of provisions that hadn’t been discussed or bargained. It was a power play aimed at using the deadline for a settlement to get their wish-list on the player’s backs. Eric Cantor would have been proud.

Sounds like the NFL owners took a page out of Capital Hill.

Absolutely stupid article.

First his statement that the NFLPA should look at the owners and say "Why do we need you again?"

Seriously?

Then he goes on to say this is bigger then millionaires vs billionaires. It is people vs those in power. Fighting those with all the money.

f**k off. As I have stated many times, these players need a reality check. They aren't fighting for anything of importance to anyone but themselves. And what they are fighting for is the ability to make millions more than they already do.

you need a reality check. The average NFL player lasts 3 years. They can be bought out at any time. They are jeopardizing their long term health -- both mental and physical -- for our enjoyment.

Their retierment benefits are terrible; former players are currently suing the NFL because their pensions can't cover the massive health care expenses incured from a life of playing professional football for a pittance

Yes players are paid well, but what's the solution? funnel more money up to a group of 32 billionaires?

I guess the players should just do what they're told, like good boys, and sign a document they havent even been briefed on.

Give your head a shake!

Massive pwnage.

Ah no. That was not ownage at all.

It is a difference of opinion.

My point on this article was that the players need a reality check because they are playing it like it is them vs. the man. Like normal people can relate to the fight they are fighting.

Some can... others can't because they let their emotion dictate what to think.

the supplemental revenue sharing provision has to do with the owners, not the players. so the players look pretty stupid getting all upset about something that doesnt really affect them.
