Millionaires vs billionaires if you don't think it is a big deal calculate how many years of working it will take you to equal 1 year of their salary. That said I love football, this just doesn't seem right considering how many people are still trying to just put food on their table. Juts my 2 cents

The NFL has stated if a team comes to the LA area it will be a New Franchise not a relocated one.
The main reason being the New franchise fee for the LA area will fetch them an estimated $250 million

As long as owners share the broadcast revenue there are no small markets in the NFL!

The title of this thread should be NFL Vs MLB. How did that happen LOL.

The players decertified the union and left the negotiation table so the owners had nothing else to do but lock them out. Next time you go to sign a work contract tell the owner you want to see his last ten years of audits so you can decide how much you want to get paid and see where that gets you!

The players decertified because they were backed into a corner. And yeah, if you're going to pull a BILLION dollars off the table because you claim you're losing money, do you just expect the players to take the owners at their word, seeing how untrustworthy they've proven to be? The owners were not negotiating in good faith, period.

It took a left turn somewhere in the first 20 posts. I like the direction it went, though. It's been a fun conversation.

I believe the discussion started when it was said that MLB players make significantly more money than their NFL counterparts, despite being the most popular sport in America.

so the nflpa is asking people who aren't even part of a union that no longer exists to do stuff? at this point I don't care if football ever comes back. ****em all

What experience would that be? If they don't attend the NFL draft, then they won't get drafted by a team. If they are not on a team, then they do not have the opportunity to play. I don't get it.

You don't have to be in attendance to be drafted, Andy. Literally hundreds of players every single year are doing their own thing on draft day instead of sitting in the, "green room." One of the cooler stories I remember is Joe Thomas going fishing with his Dad the day of the draft rather than surrounding himself with all the hooplah.

So they would be at another venue, but still be in the NFL draft.

Gotcha.
