How many of us would be willing to earn $3.6 million for three years work knowing at the end our profession would no longer exist? Most anyone would take that and smile but not the players union. For years they have screwed over the older players and not helped those who got next to nothing to establish the game that the cry baby's of todays league have.
The face of todays union are players such as Manning, Brees, and Brady and we are to feel sorry for them? Give me a break as these super rich players don't get it. THEY work for the owners and the owners should be able to set the wage scale and benefits offered. If they don't like the offer, they should be able to go elsewhere and the owners should NOT be able to dictate where they go. There is nothing special about them or their union and they should function like other unions.
Real simple, if you don't like your job, go elsewhere and the owners should not be allowed to stop them. If the players sign a contract for 2 years, 3years or whatever, they have to adhere to it. No new contracts can be written during the first contract and if the player slacks off because they want more money, to bad. They will have to wait for the next contract or they can quit playing until the contract they signed expires.
I use to be a fan of baseball as I pitched into college but damaged my elbow. Loved baseball for over 12 years and now, I don't watch. I ceased caring about it when they canceled the world series because of a strike. All the men who play these sports need to remember, baseball, football, and basketball are games and they get paid to PLAY GAMES. If they all went away and we the public started with new players in those sports, we would enjoy them just as much in time. Yes, we would miss some of the players but would find new players to root for.
The players better wake up and understand THEY NEED "WE THE PUBLIC". The public can live without them. All the folks that have business based on sports need to get ready for bad times as the owners and players don't give a damn about you. The greed of both sides will be the death kneel of football as the strike in baseball has caused it to no longer be "Americas Game" as it once was.

OWNERS & PLAYERS, YOU HAVE TIME TO SETTLE THIS BEFORE
NO ONE CARES.
