Guess what, don't bitch at politicians for siding(aka..voting) for special interests or corporate tax breaks. They too are being paid by them. I don't want to go off topic with this, but the above mindset is also mind boggling. It's one thing to side with the owners if you actually take their stance, it's another thing to take their stance soley for the fact you are being paid. If I were a coach, I would stay the **** out of it regardless if I were being paid or not.

Now, what the Redskins coaching staff has done is alienate the players and chosen a side. Pretty ****ing stupid imo.

Curiousity questions,

Did the Skins and Saints coaches let their position be known to the courts? If not, then the distancing statements wouldn't really affect the amicus brief, right? So what difference does it make in the long run?
