NFLPA director cautions about a lockout
NFLPA advises players about potential 2011 lockout - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
It really sounds as if both sides are doing heavy lobbying. This article is just a 2 sentence piece, but there have been articles recently on retired players benefits, and rookie salary cap, that make it seem like both sides are prepping for a drawn out negotiation. It's too early to be yelling the sky is falling, but at the same token, I hope both sides are really working toward the same end. Right now, it doesn't seem that way. |

Re: NFLPA director cautions about a lockout
The owners and players would be complete fools to allow any kind of work stoppage.

Re: NFLPA director cautions about a lockout
It's going to be ugly. A lot of big issues on the table need to get hammered out.

Re: NFLPA director cautions about a lockout
There is so much at stake here for both sides that both sides are going to posture like heck. A lockout, heaven forbid, could happen. But it is too early in the posturing war to make that call.
Then again, whenever there is a strike, we seem to win the Super Bowl.

Re: NFLPA director cautions about a lockout
I do not believe this will be allowed to happen. The NBA and MLB's image problems have allowed the NFL to become the #1 sport by a huge margin. No one really cares about hockey since their last strike, but they're slowly recovering. I watch hockey again, but am not joined by many people that I know.
It would be a huge blow to the most successful (currently) sports league in the world.
