It shouldn&#039;t be a question of forcing the NFLPA.  The NFLPA agreed to HGH testing and now they are turning gun-shy.  It doesn&#039;t matter what the fans think - the players agreed.  By backing out, the NFLPA is coming across as two-faced and having something to hide.  If the PA hated HGH testing so much, they could have insisted that it not be in the CBA.

The NFLPA needs to just shut up and accept it.  If they don&#039;t and Congress is forced to make them implement it, the players will lose public sentiment and any benefit of the doubt when they run into an issue that wasn&#039;t expressly dealt with in the CBA.

If the PA is willing to negotiate for things that players don&#039;t want and then renege on their commitment, the players should vote the bums leading their union out as they are hurting the players twice over.]]></description>
