Riiiight.
A little history brush-up may clear things up.
They can be violent and forceful. They can be corrupt. They are their own Government representing their own people. You see how they do? They make the owners into villains. Greedy devils who have no souls. And yet the greed is rampant. The difference, is the owners put up their possesions as risk. The union puts up NOTHING. It's just pathetic. It's theivery. It's extortion. They gain strength in monopolizing the jobs, and then bully their way into taking more of someone elses business profits. It's unethical in my opinion.
It really sucks, becasue some of these players are losing my respect forever. I'll never win at fantasy footbal again, because Manning, Brady, Peterson, Breeze and the like, are hypocrits and thugs. Theives. They made a deal and now they are backing out. These guys are under contract. But do you know why they won't play if the owners came out and said let's play anyway with no CBA? Becasue the union won't let them.
And the union calls it a lockout. To the general public, it's the owners who are the problem because they are gonna have a lockout. Well no shit. What choice do they have? They are having their businesses bullied from them.
God I'd love to see the owners just close up shop and watch the players try and salvage.
