Who's Right and Who's Wrong in the CBA Drama

Will it ever end? This CBA drama has gone on long enough, its time to finally put up or shut up. Last week after the extended deadline came and went without a new agreement, the players association agreed to decertify itself. Which mean that the NFL can not legally lock them out, as they are no longer associated with them.

So whose right and whose wrong here. I share the same views that the player's association share, they just want fair compensation to play a demanding sport, is this unjust? Would you want to play in a contact sport fully knowing that each play could be your last? I know I would not want to take that chance.

Are the owners really that greedy? The NFL is the most profitable sport in North America, with lucrative televison deals and billions of dollars in revenue, are these demands from the players union really that far-fetched?

Think back to when the NHL locked out in 2004, it took the league several seasons to rebuild its reputation. Can the NFL really afford to do the same? This blogger says no. So lets get something creative and constructive going so that we can enjoy NFL football next season.
