From a moral standpoint I agree 100%!


From a legal standpoint, the precedent has been set. If public slander, or inaccurate accounts were culpable offenses there would be no news agencies in business and prisons would be full of politicians.

I have never seen a political candidate taken to task for outright lies about his opponent during a campaign.

That's because politicians and news agencies aren't suspending or firing people that they're in the process of slandering. It's bad enough to start a rumor, but to convict upon nothing more is outrageous.

Alright 626. Tell me again why it is they can't just refuse to show up for camp? Not saying the Union could even muster the momentum to make that happen, but explain to me why it is that they can't. I'm still not convinced they have much choice...

I believe a media boycott by NFLPA members could make a statement to the league. All the NFLPA needs to do is make a press release that the players words are being taken out of context and used against them.

The players could be instructed to give the following statement "I understand your question, but all questions should be routed through the NFLPA".

Make the union work for them. Seems harsh and would not be viewed in the media or fans as positive, but would definately make a statement more than holding up a finger at the start of a game to show solidarity.

I like it. The have to do SOMEthing. For real.:goodidea:

They can refuse to show up for camp... They will be fined for it though.

Keep something in mind.. The CBA governs the Players Union and the Leagues relationship.... The contract between the Team and the Player governs that relationship... The League doesn't care if they do not show up for camp, the Saints front office will and there are probably terms in the players contract with the team that covers that, which usually results in some sort of forfeiture of pay...

if I understood your question correctly?

Obviously, when you strike you don't get payed. There isn't any question of that. I don't want to see a strike at all, I'm tired of all the drama, but if it's the last option they have at some point, then maybe they should.

But if (in my wet dream) players league-wide did this it's same-same since they wouldn't be getting paid if they went on strike either. I just wanna see 'em DO something damnit. LOL

Godhell is finally starting to feel the heat. He is trying to use semantics at this point. But it isn't going to work. We won't let this die. Godhell may die but this won't.

Roger will be held accountable......it will just take some time. He thought he was going to bully us and we'd roll over. Well' I guess he's thinking about crapping his britches now. Every bully deserves an ass beating and I want to give it to him.
