"Nothing unites union ranks faster than management telling them they can't go to work." How long 'till Obama sticks his nose in this one?

Wow - who should root for? A league that smeared Rush as a racist, makes Vick a hero again, has monopoly status, runs pro-Obama commercials and panders to billionaire owners who shake down taxpayers to get stadiums built.

Or loads of thugs and prima donna’s who sometimes break laws and get away with it.

I hope they strike and the season is canceled.

Several Packers have spoken out publicly in support of the anarchists in Madison. I’m damn sorry I pulled for them two weeks ago.

Looks like VV kicked of the clueless coverage themselves:

“Smith needs to keep about 2,000 players in check, while [NFL Commissioner] Roger Goodell only has to worry about 32 owners. Myers doesn’t seem to understand that this actually gives a big edge to Smith: he can communicate with all the players through the press while Goodell must constantly be making calls to and answering calls from his employers - which is what the NFL owners are.”

Yep, VV, the telephone and press are the only means by which people can communicate today. Definitely not possible to set up and email list with 33 people on it. Never been done in the history of humankind. Never. Not once. And you’re right, the players’ only means for communication is through the press, you know, the press like VV, right?

Looks like this author might want to brush up on the process too. Heard a commentator recently say that the owners may simply declare an impasse, with no lockout. If the players don't settle then they'll be the ones blocking work, not the owners.

I would think The Messiah could only hold out a few days before sticking his nose in this. DeMaurice Smith is one of Obama’s thugs.

I’m a Redskin’s fan so it might be better if they did cancel next season!
