Its true that the Alliance of American Football may not make it to Year 2. Its also true that the AAF may not make it to Final Four weekend. Per a source with knowledge of the leagues plans, games will be played this weekend, Week Eight of the inaugural season. Beyond this weekend, however, its entirely possible that the plug will be pulled.

This is the players union flexing it muscles to control its members instead of doing what is best for them--
Isn't that what unions do... except for when they are loaning big bucks to the Mob.
Besides it is NBC News reporting this... so it comes with a possible 'Big F for Fak' at the front--

Fans need a NEW league, not a faux NFL.
I was thinking that the AAF is kinda like a MLB minor league program. But, guess I was wrong.

This sounds like a perfect scenario for an antitrust lawsuit against the NFL.
Which will likely result in another $3 jury award just like Donald Trump received.

I believe the Players Union is the blocking force at this point.

They do own the players. That’s what it means to be “under contract”. Musicians and actors are under similar strictures.

Nope. We fought a bloody war to preserve Lincolns union. Freeing the slaves didnt come til the end of the war as a tactic to ensure a union victory, not because it was the objective of the war to start with.
Um, that's incorrect. The Emancipation Proclamation was issued in January of 1863, and had no effect: Lincoln was attempting to enforce something upon states not under his control - they weren't part of his jurisdictional territory. The War essentially ended 26 April of 1865, with the surrender of the Army of Tennessee, the biggest Confederate force. The last Confederate general to surrender was June 23rd, effectively bringing the last of the Confederate states back under the Union's yoke, and bringing the Emancipation Proclamation to full effect (only in Confederate states).
However, on the Union side, slavery was not fully abolished until the sixth of December, when the 13th Amendment was ratified. Fully six months after the war ended, and nearly three YEARS after Lincoln 'freed' slaves in states he didn't control, but DID NOT free slaves in the states he did.
