I bet he sided against the baseball owners back when that shit got all ****ed up too.

How will the NFL get screwed up? Call me stupid, but I think opting out of CBAs, locking players out TWICE is screwing up the NFL than anything the players have done.

i'm talking big picture and long range.

In the immediate future, the owners did screw stuff up by locking the players out and i'm not really sure why they did it.

In the long range, having the players control the sport IS TERRIBLE for the sport. Just look at the parity issues in MLB and look at the way the NBA is trying to head the direction of the NFL and not the MLB.

In the MLB you have some teams with payrolls of 200+ million and you have some with payrolls of 50 million. This is decided by area population and t.v. contracts.

In the NBA, you have players 'taking their talents to south beach' and all sorts of empty arena/small market problems.

You must have cost control for businesses to be successful and the players salary are the biggest cost. If the NFLPA wins and continues to win in the future because of the backing of the courts, it will lead to less cost control and worse league market.

So...you support the owners because they opted out (even though you don't know why), just because you somehow fear they'll become like the NBA or MLB?

Then you should hate the owners for opting out because that's the first step in becoming like those two leagues.

not looking at 'who to hate'

looking at who helps the fans the most by controlling the league.
