Loophole in 8th Circuit ruling could force teams to sign free agents and rookies if lockout isn't resolved http://t.co/sIrd8Zy

I'm reading the ruling now. It's not a "loophole", it's how the 8th Circuit interpreted the application of the law to the situation and the district court ruling.

For now, the ENTIRE lockout remains in effect because the ENTIRE injunction is vacated. The court could, however, validly impose an injunction on the league prohibiting it from locking out FAs and rookies, but it must first go through some procedural hurdles as required by the law.

So the entire lockout remains in effect. Status quo continues.
