Fixed that for ya . In most fields, unions aren't needed because the employees can't just be replaced by anybody. Unions are only needed these days when people are making more than the going rate for what they do. It cracks me up that you support the NFL union, yet say you want to see the best players play. What, do you think if there was no union the NFL owners would just higher a bunch of 57 th stringers for minimum wage?

Here is a simple, fair, solution: treat the NFL like a normal job, no contracts, agents, etc. A guy gets hired and gets paid a salary. And if he plays real hard, he maybe gets a bonus, which is usually a share oh the profit.
