In the event of a lockout and replacement players


HSCBandit07

Recommended Posts

From what I understand, if the owners lockout the players, they are going to de-unionize, and sue the NFL under employment laws. Their goal would be to stop the NFL from actually having games next year among other objectives. If this happens, I don't believe there will be replacement players, and we simply won't have football.

However, there is a possibility that the owners agree on a CBA of their own design, throw it at the NFLPA and say take it or leave it, and force them to strike. If that happens, we could see replacement players (though they de-unionized last time this happened in an attempt to do the same tactic as above).

It's a big clusterfug right now is all I think anyone can say for certain.

This is the most likely scenerio I can see. The owners wont take the blame for no football. They will make the players strike.

the owners will receive the blame either way, as they're the ones who opted out of the CBA in the first place. playing politics to back players into a corner to 'strike' isn't going to win hearts and minds.

this is an America where we just spent hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to bail out these owner types. they aren't going to get sympathy.

    • I have already said I am out on Bryce so let’s not even bring him up here. I think XL sucks even if he were to have Mahomes throwing to him.   This rep alone is enough to see he doesn’t have what it takes to be a regular starter in the NFL. At least try to make the catch you idiot      
    • Way back in my younger days as a reporter, I had to go and cover a D.A.R.E. graduation event at a local school. They had two NASCAR racing teams there for the kids to meet. Teams sponsored by two different beer companies, one of which had just won the Winston Cup (wow, really back in the day, and a cigarette brand if you didn't know).  The kids were having a ball and were in awe of the drivers and crew members, they loved seeing the cars. I leaned over to the DARE officer from the Sheriff's Department and said, "You do realize that you told these kids to swear they'd never drink or smoke or use drugs and look who sponsors all this." The look of realization just washed across his face and he glanced side-eyed back at me and said, "Well, poo." Advertising and marketing are so fuging pervasive in everything we do that the public really doesn't stand a chance anymore. And gambling is doing a full on press for this generation and the next.  Sports gambling has always existed and always will, but this industrialized one is more than parasitic, it's viral. I'm not sure if the patient will survive it, but if it does, there will be a mighty shock to the system before it lets go.
    • I've heard the rumors Kyler Murray ends up on an East Coast team next year. Young for Murray straight up, who says no?
