		<description><![CDATA[The NFLPA is a bigger joke than the referees- replacement or real.  It seems clear that Smith&#039;s strategy w/ the union is to fight everything in the courts, regardless of the CBA.  Why?  Because he knows that he totally screwed the players w/ the way he handled the negotiations for nearly everything. including the salary cap, drug testing, commissioner punishment, etc.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s unfortunate the Patriots chose not to fight the Spygate ruling. 

No doubt Belichick broke a 2006 rule in 2007 for having cameras on the sidelines instead of in the stands as the rules still allow, but Goodell reacted as if signal filming doesn&#039;t happen in every game.

And of course any halfway intelligent fan knows why even today, every coordinator covers his mouth when calling in plays.]]></description>

So true. This is the same NFLPA that demanded that Tagliabue recuse himself because he didn&#039;t have the integrity to overlook his affiliation with the league. If the suspensions hasn&#039;t been vacated, it would have been, &quot;see! We told you he was biased!&quot;]]></description>

This is exactly why UNIONS are necessary. Given the choice no business or corporation has their workers best interests anywhere in sight.

- - - - - - - - - - - - 

I think you&#039;ve got it backward.  The NFLPA defended a couple union members who were intentionally trying to injure other union members.  Seems more like it&#039;s the union that didn&#039;t really have the majority of their members&#039; best interest in mind.

They weren&#039;t defending the players at risk or trying to improve playing conditions.  They were just fighting whatever position the league took.]]></description>

That&#039;s just not true. For all the businesses and corporations in the world, every business treats their workers different, be it great, terrible, or in somewhere in between. It&#039;s actually often in business&#039;s best interest to treat workers well, otherwise they won&#039;t attract good workers.

But then again, let&#039;s not consider that. Let&#039;s just keep listening to all the rhetoric we&#039;re fed from politicians instead.]]></description>
