The CBA: The NFLPA and Players Are Greedy and/or Dumb

[That Guy]

That Guy:

You were right on target when you said that without a CBA the NFL is ripe for an anti-trust suit. Please recall that the NFL was found guilty of anti-trust violations back in the 1980s in the suit filed against them by the USFL. For those who don't recall or weren't around at the time, the NFL LOST that case. Things havent' changed much since then so the league could be sued again by a rival league if things head off into an "uncapped year".

The owners are a bunch of rich egoists; the players are a bunch of spoiled brats who feel entitled to things because of their athletic prowess. It's hard to root for either side here.

But something better happen soon or the whole ball of yarn may start to unravel...
