I'd like to think they aren't nearly dumb enough to do that, but here we are, right? I know there are a few, but surely...SURELY...even those few can look beyond the trees to see the forest...so to speak?

:ohno:

I'm hearing that the owners changed some of the stuff in the CBA without the players knowing about it. So it looks like the players are going to vote no. But hey it's rumors.

Also don't think the players like the "pushy" nature of the move by the owners. That's the kind of behavior to make this go on longer. Why, oh why, after all the progress the owners and players have made in the past few weeks.... why would the owners try to "pull a fast one" PR move? They should have met jointly with the players.

That's why the cats are on the roller coaster.

We should know something definitive soon though. :bng:

Not only does the resolution of the lawsuit have to be figured out, but, from the players' perspective, that resolution has to be at least neutral... in other words, the owners and players have to agree that de-certifying the NFLPA as a bargaining unit can not be declared as illegal. The players want to keep that arrow in their quiver in case they need it in 2021.
