Indeed they do. Let me share some gems I've come across the past couple days.

I know that I would side with the owners, just makes sense, these are the guys who hand you your paycheck. As a business owner myself I have been on the side of the owners since day 1. In my business of retail sales and service, if my employees acted like the NFLPA has acted I would not only lock them out, I would fire every damn one of them...

Nah. New NFL players are born every day. Completely replaceable. Negotiation is fine up until the point that the employee starts dictating terms of employment to the employer and then shutting down the employer's business when they can't get what they want every few years. If I were running the NFL, the PA would have one week to come back and negotiate or the union would be busted. Any player who tries to unionize would be playing in Canada from now on.

Yes people, guys like this vote. Wonder why corporate America is raping the middle class? Now you know.
