NFL Players Demand More Perfect Union

The 2011 NFL season stands in jeopardy. The team owners and the Players Union are deadlocked, with neither side willing to concede to anything. The longer the two sides remain at an impasse it becomes more likely that NFL fans will be without football for all or part of the 2011 season.

The NFL Players Union, lead by DeMaurice Smith, refuses to back down from their demands. Major points of contention include:

  • The Players Union will not implement a rookie wage scale, so players like JaMarcus Russell can receive $45M before touching a football, then get fat and get cut from the NFL three years later.
  • The Players Union wants guaranteed contracts, so when Bob Sanders signs a six year/$56M deal, plays only half the games of the first three years, and the Colts cut him after the third year, the Colts will have to pay him every penny.
  • The Players Union wants NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to have less power to punish players for minor offenses, such as sexual assault, manslaughter, or firing weapons in public places. This will give players more freedom, which they desperately deserve.

With a lockout looming, the Players Union seems willing to let their members stay home without pay. Fortunately for the players, the majority of them are fully capable of finding work that would meet or exceed their current NFL salaries.
