If they have no football then I will stop buying the stuff and stop watching game and boycott them we pay lot of money to see and watch them play and we help the owners out to so may be hurt them in the pocket book we poor people come and watch, hope we have football this year. The fan put a hurt on baseball one year when they stay out so long.

PLAYERS: Here is our proposal and issues.

OWNERS: Here is our proposal and issues.

FANS: WAHHHHH! I’M SO TIRED OF THIS! IT’S ALL ABOUT ME, ME, ME!!!!

I’m sick of this too. Not the negotiations…they’ve gone about like most legal wrangling.

I’m sick of the whiny-ass loser FANS.

You’re really done? GOOD! GO ALREADY!!!!

GOOD MOVE NFLPA! They can’t force you into becoming a union or coerce you into a decision. They locked you out now they gotta deal with the ramifactions.

Cooler heads will prevail. As long as the agreement is acceptable, there’s no reason to reject it and recertification won’t ultimately be a deal breaker.

if 31 people agree that the greatest color ever is blue, then slide that piece of paper across the table to 2000 other people and say “sign this”, that’s bs. it doesn’t mean they have to sign it, and it doesn’t mean it’s fair.

This just proves the players side has and is the biggest problem in this whole process.

The players deprived themselves. The owners want the season to begin. This has NOTHING to do with the players being left out in the cold.

Negotiating 2 days a week for a few months, they had plenty and I mean plenty of time to up the amount of negotiations and demands.

Put up or shut up.

Might I inquire as to the identity of the original sender of said e-mail?

That might go a long way to explaining its contents.

Why in the world did you negotiate with the owners and leave it up to your leadership if this isn’t something you can live with. How freaking stupid. Why do you have any negotiations at all? Why not just go back one by one and work out your deal? Greed kills! #douche bags was the correct term the punter gave you.

*CBA — damn auto-correct.
In review: ratify: yay. No-ratify: eat a d*ck. I’ll go watch hockey or something.

Give me a break! The players act like they have no idea what is in this CBA. What do you think Dee Smith and the rest of the NFLPA has been jerking off to in the past 6 weeks? Why did you hire the guy if you aren’t going to approve the deal he made? At this point, I almost wish the players don’t approve it and then they get the snobbish hell beaten out of them by the media and the fans.

Listening to players talk on espn, they either are really dumb, or are.being lied to.

Why is the “old CBA” and “old Agreement” even part of this discussion? I’m thoroughly confused.

By: awestcave

awestcave — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 00:05:47 +0000

It’s pretty simple, actually. Either they ratify the CBS tonight or they all eat a d*ck and I quit caring. No worries.

“In addition to depriving the players of the time needed to consider forming a union and making needed changes to the old Agreement, this proposed procedure would in my view also violate federal labor laws. Those laws prohibit employers from coercing their employees into forming a union, and could result in any Agreement reached through the procedure being declared null and void,”

Sincerely,

Lawyers are going to try and drag this out.. DeSmith and Roger should start drop kicking them out of the picture immediately.
