Neither. I like REAL football. You know, the one they play with their feet?

Man United still in for the Treble!!

It's the people who work the stadiums, parking lots, management and marketing staffs for every team, ball boys, team chefs, trainers etc who are also out of work and will just add to the 9% unemployment this country is already going through.
The players also lose all benefits I.e., health insurance, life insurance, etc...

Excellent point.

Also, Jenk I think it's time for a new avatar. :smilie:

give me a f'n break. the players sign a huuuuuuuuuuuuge contract, that's why its called a CONTRACT. I hope there is a lock out and i am a huge NFL fan but the owners should win this

bdeitemeyer 03-15-2011 08:16 PM

I'm with the players. If the owners could show some financials that justify them wanting more of the pie, then the players' union would have little to argue about. If they're not showing the financials, then it just looks shady on their part to keep coming up with excuses and poor offers with generic documentation.

Hate unions and everything they do

Can't have success without the players but can't have an NFL without the owners.

Barrister 03-15-2011 08:25 PM

The owners don't have guaranteed contracts.

They take the big risks. They run the show.

What?

lol. The owners don't need to show them crap. If the owner's feel they need to make more money than so be it. It's not like the poor NFL stars are getting mistreated and working for pennies in a sweat shop. We are talking about people making millions of dollars a year for playing a game. They're all a bunch of whiny spoiled little kids is how I see it.
