bigruss Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) There are so many things that players can argue about or claim are unjust in how the league works fiscally towards them, but to claim it as slavery is just not knowing the present situation, history of slavery, nor what slavery actually entails. For one, you can choose not to play football, you can retire any time you want to. Edited March 16, 2011 by bigruss22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like all of the independent baseball, hockey, and basketball leagues that opened up during those sports' strikes/lockouts! Uh huh, yeah, OK. The only league to ever have anything close to that type of impact like was the USFL. That was 25 years ago and the league lasted 5 years. There is a 0% chance any other football league replaces the NFL. (not that you were actually suggesting this knight, just in general) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigklita Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Robbie Gould came into my work today. I should have asked him if he had any inside info on the lockout, being the player rep for the Bears and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskyCaucasian Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 Report: League insists on HGH testing Whenever a new collective bargaining agreement is reached with the NFLPA, the league is insistent that HGH testing for all NFL players be included in the deal, according to a report on FoxSports.com. "We want it. We think it's necessary. We're going to ensure that it's done," NFL vice president and general counsel Adolpho Birch said, according to the report. "That's something very important to us and the integrity of our game. We believe some of the basis for going slowly on it before has been addressed. At this point, it's proper for it to be an active part of our program." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLB has a CBA negotiation coming up this December. It'd be stupid for the owners not to push for that. If nothing else...it covers their own tails...they don't wind up signing a player for big money and then have them break down because of the HGH usage. And..."We don't want to be tested for HGH" is a losing position if you have to take it in front of the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
