Re: Ongoing CBA discussions
Just to counter some of the points here, and it may have already been mentioned:
-NFL is a monopoly which dominates one industry, therefore a union must exist to negotiate for the players. Otherwise the owners do whatever they want and the players get screwed. They can't play anywhere else, at the same level, in the US. Federal jurisdiction prevails in these matters for this reason. -Since NFL is a monopoly dominating the most popular sport, revenue will be high in the long-run. It is a sure fire investment, even for the cruddy markets, where portions of the NFL profit is shared. -Owners do pay for stadiums, along with all taxpayers via taxes. They are not the only ones taking that risk. -If the owners feel their position is valid, why not take it to court? Don't say it's because of the Judge. That is such a BS cop-out. Last time the verdict was reached with the NFL and players it was by a JURY! Usually when people don't want to go to court, it is because they know they are wrong on some level. If you don't believe that or have an issue with the legal system, then that argument is for another day.
