8th Circuit Court Grants Stay, Lockout Continues

[SBXVII]

Just watching NFL Network and god I'm soo tired of yet another owner or CEO or whoever saying .... " We need to get back to the negotiations table." So what is the problem? It seems that the owners are all saying we need to get to the negotiations table and everytime I hear from the players side it's all about whatever happens June 3rd or June 6th.

So why can't the Players tell their reps to get at the table and keep trying? I mean if they are cable of getting something done then all the law suits could be dropped.

Damn players.

It does appear that the players are begining to lose the PR battle. DeMaurice Smith doesn't seem to be winning them any good favor with his rhetoric and perceived indignance...while the NFL mantra has been "we need to get back to the table".

No. The NFL mantra has been this.


Buffalo Bills suspend pension and 401K payments to employees - ESPN

NFL Shop raises jersey prices $5 amid lockout - CBSSports.com

Get ready to pay: 18 NFL teams raising ticket prices for 2010 - USATODAY.com

****ing over the fans, screwing over their employees, so they can make yet more money so that they can misuse under the guise of their "operating expenses" and then turn around and claim their are having "profit losses".

I would be interested to view your proof on this statement.

Lets not stop to think that maybe the owners might, just might be experiencing a reduction in income due to this whole mess that the owners need to find a way to keep the right amount of money flow coming in to the business to pay said employees, or reduce employees pay by a % to enable them to keep their jobs.

Yep it's all the owners fault. Damn owners. If they would just lift the lockout then fans would be happy and throw the money they don't have due to the bad economy at season tickets, the owners wouldn't have to raise jeresy costs, and employees wouldn't have to worry about their jobs or a reduction in their pay.

Stick it to the owners players and stand your ground. Hold out and wait to hear what the 8th Circuit decides.

When you need a job you go out and apply to 15 to 20 different places in hopes a few respond. You don't go out and apply to one place and wait and when you don't get it you go out and apply to another place and wait, so on and so on. See while the players are so called waiting.... they could be sitting at a table with the owners trying to work something out. What I'd like to see is the owners pick a date and time. The players don't show up its on them, because I'm almost certain the players don't want to negotiate. They want to hear what the 8th Circuit says first or atleast win having the lockout lifted then they will be all over "lets get together."
