The players are sueing the NFL now because they think by having a lockout that their careers will never be the same and that they feel cheated. The NFL Players Association argued Wednesday that a federal judge should issue a preliminary injunction on the owners' lockout without further delay because of the irreparable harm to players.
"Let them go back to work and do what they do, and that's playing the game of football,'' said James Quinn, speaking on behalf of the players, to Judge Susan Richard Nelson. "They only want to be treated fairly.
"The lockout itself is illegal. Over 800 players are unsigned. These players have no jobs. They have nowhere to go.
OK,
ReplyDeleteI am a late season NFL watcher and ignoramus. Could you explain to me in layman's terms what exactly will happen this fall? Is there still time to negotiate? What kind of irreparable harm in precise terms is being claimed by the players?
They have nowhere to go? How about shopping with all the money they've already accummulated over the years!!!! They feel cheated? How about the fans?? We feel insulted about the lack of effort from either side to solve an issue over MONEY when both sides make PLENTY!!!
