Fair enough to have a competitive even playing field? That is the barometer to me. The other 23 teams feel that things are getting out of balance. The gang of 9 I think agrees that it is out of balance, but in their favor, so they prefer that.

I think that the idea that the gang of 9 would actually sue the other teams is disturbing, and if things go down that road, then the NFL will deteriorate.

The NFL can have these disagreements, but at the end of the day, we rise or sink together. Is the NFL the banner or is it the teams for themselves?

Perhaps an analogy would be in the founding of our country. The states worked together to form a Union, the United States. Will the NFL be the United NFL teams, or will it be a Civil War?

Heh, maybe I'm not David McCullough, but there's a comparison there somewhere.
