The players' union, NFLPA, is decertified. So there is no vote for the players. No union... no vote! They would have to recertify the NFLPA, etc, etc, etc ... and how long does that take?

Well, they decertified pretty darned quickly. You would think, with all the time that the negotiations and mediation has taken up, they would have been prepared to recertify the NFLPA just as quickly in order to get a deal signed when the time came.

If it takes more than a matter of a few days, in my opinion, someone dropped the ball. They should have been ready to recertify.
