Football Owners approve new CBA

The problem isn't the NFL players or the Team Reps, it's DeMaurice Smith.

The players were locked out in 2011 and what did the players really get? Well, a decrease in the overall share of revenues (47%) in exchange for less practice time in pads during the week and substantially less offseason participation, which has led to far more injuries, less parity and more tanking.

Eric Winston, the current NFLPA President is now retired, so as of March, he's no longer eligible to represent the players. It's probably a wise move on their part to elect a new NFLPA President, then elect a new head of the Player's Union, with the ultimate goal of getting a higher percentage of revenues, better post-NFL heathcare, a 16 game season and no THC testing.

Otherwise, they're screwing themselves.
