I'm glad to see the NFLPA decertify, though if only temporarily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhs7695 185 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 My question is if the NFLPA is no longer a Union in order to issue a lawsuit at the NFL owners, couldn't players walk over the line and still play since they are no longer part of a union if the owners allowed them too? Would the NFL owners get replacement players like in '87? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the NFL owners get replacement players like in '87? This can and will happen if it goes that far. The owners biggest fear is that the judge will declare the NFL a Trust and take action to break it, including the opening of the books to the players. Yes greed is a terrible thing. The owners in their desire to make a few more buck could kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano5 14 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 That is true, technically there cannot be a lockout if there is no union. This move was made by the players solely on the fact that they can make individual law suits against the NFL and still play football. The players still want to play.

ThomasDenton 79 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Can someone please give me a rundown of what all happened in '87? I've been hearing a lot about it, people saying next season could end up like it, but I was born in '88, so I don't know anything about it. Just seems kinda weird to me that there could be replacement players or no season or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Variable Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 This can and will happen if it goes that far.

The owners in their desire to make a few more buck could kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. I have been hoping for the downfall of the NFL as an organization for some time. I love football, but I find the control they have over football to be exactly what you say: Trusts. I just wish the UFL would get its head out of its *** and figure out how to run a successful sports league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
