In what might be HUGE news, Daniel Kaplan is reporting that due to the fact that the federal court is engaged in confidential settlement talks with both sides, next week's federal mediation has been cancelled.

@dkaplanSBJ daniel kaplan
The minnesota federal court has cancelled mediation set next week saying it is engaged in confidential settlement talks with the parties

This could be HUGE... it is possible that major progress has been made if settlement talks are still going on, which it sounds like they are based on the mediation cancellation.

Maybe we'll have an end to this soon. God, I hope so.

Meeee too. I can't imagine how bored I will be in August and September without football.

[Fiz]

you shouldn't.

capital has triumphed over labor once again, simply by gaming the legal system.

they've won because they're in better position to weather a federal case.

they've won because it's easier to marshall 31 white millionaires than 1500+ football players.

they've won because the system is gamed in their favor.

fug all our lives.

I've never wanted so much for one of your posts to be correct before... At this point, I don't know whose "side" I'm on but I am not exactly happy with either side... but I'm okay with the fact I'm selfish and want football to get on with it.

Hopefully...I didn't realize how boring this summer is without football going on.

you should be on the side of labor but this is america and capital has spent the last three decades demonizing workers and boy howdy has it worked.

Fiz, why is this a bad thing? Not being facetious, truly curious.

[Fiz]

if you just want football regardless of the cost it's a great thing.

If you give a poo about the plight of organized labor vs. management it's the most depressing thing that could happen.

Do you put all of that drama into your acting career?

[Fiz]

every bit

seriously if you're a laborer or menial worker (every person on this messageboard ) you should have been cheering for the players.

Labor v Capital trumps everything.
