NFLPA lambasts Saints-backed workers' comp bill

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- The NFL Players Association is launching a campaign aimed at defeating the New Orleans Saints' bid to change state law pertaining to workers' compensation claims by players.

NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith said legislation which was pushed by Saints owner Tom Benson, and which passed the Louisiana House of Representatives on Wednesday, ''specifically targets professional athletes, to take away or limit their workers' compensation benefits.''
