Yeah, I was about to say let dozens of rank and file players get hurt and *crickets*. Let one superstar QB in the biggest media market in the country get hurt and NOW it's a problem.

Difference is this is something the rank and file care about too. The wheels are in motion now, there might not be any stopping this train.

Was just coming here to post this. If I was a betting man, I’d say this is going to blow up as soon as this season. We very well may be looking at a strike or lockout if the NFLPA decides to take a vote on this. 

Especially with all the news out that these teams are bending over and putting out grass to cater to the upcoming World Cup.

Not just that but from my understanding any time Messi plays in the MLS it has to be grass. It’s written into his contract. You think American football stars are going to take that, that one soccer player gets to dictate the playing surface, sitting down? Nah. It’s simmering.

My point is that the NFLPA doesn't care about the rank and file. They didn't care until a superstar gets hurt. If they actually cared about the rank and file they'd be pushing for max contract stipulations and bumping minimum contracts, but the superstars don't want that.

Mahomes and Burrow should have put that in their contract regarding their home stadiums. If one star player on each team does it, problem solved.

    • In January 2014, I posted this on another forum.  Seems like it fits again:   Do you remember cheering for the rain? Trying to sleep after “The no-call”? Do you know who needs to "Ice up, son"?   Remember pleading for .500? Thinking there’s no catching the Saints? Punting to Buffalo and knowing how it was going to end?   Do you remember how you felt about Kalil’s ad? Or the fan’s follow up? Gruden’s interview with Cam?   Do you remember Clausen being the steal of the draft? Will you ever forgive Mel Kiper?   Did you cry as Jake said his goodbyes? Do you remember the game that cost Gruden his job?   As fans chant “Luuuuuuke,” do you still hear “Moooose”? … “Hoooove”?   Do you recall changing the diaper? Paddling the boat? Being happy just hearing the name Smoot?   Do you recall the day when it hurt to say “Keep pounding,” and you felt you’d lost a close friend?   Did you hunt the net for Bojangle’s commercials? Have you seen a Cajun’s bare butt?   Do you remember the sunken feeling when Smitty was caught from behind and didn’t get up?   Sports Illustrated’s prediction?   Were you angry at Janet for stealing the spotlight? Does “X-Clown” still give you chills? Do you sing the wrong words to “Day-O”? Whenever you hear “He Hate Me,” do you also hear Rosinski finishing the sentence?   Did you like Seifert a little less when he let Walls’ streak of games-with-a-reception end? But nothing compared to letting Steve go, right? Do you remember that invincible feeling you had when we won the first game of 2001? Do you recall who our division rivals were?   Do you remember thinking “Just wait ‘til Bazooka’s healthy”? How about that weird grin you got watching Kevin Greene fire up the D? Or being undefeated at Ericsson?   If your answer is “no,” we happily welcome you as a new fan of our beloved team. Trust me, we’ll be happy to explain all of these and more to catch you up. For the rest of you, it’s been entirely too long since we were alive after week 17. But every question that you answered “yes” to makes this all the sweeter. Welcome to the playoffs.
    • Future considerations......     DUE to several high dollar players spending time on IR the canes have    37M in trade deadline cap space.....
