Watch football and see the players are right!

May 24, 2011

The lies have been that the players want more. The truth couldn’t be more wrong. The players just want to play. They don’t want more money. It is the owner’s job to handle issues such as who is watch football and if people watch NFL online through sopcast. The NFL watch online things bring the money to the owners and the owners must be willing to share the revenue fairly that they receive from CBS and FOX sports networks. The players have said they are content with the current revenue split, which is around 50-50. Now the owners want more. They want to get 18% than previous year.

The CBA was fine in 2006 and was scheduled to extent all the way to 2012. Then the NFL revoked that extension so now we are stuck in a lockout. Over the past eight years the revenue split has been 50-50. Why change it now when things are fair?
Even worse, with no season the players will have no money while the owners will still take in $4.5 billion. Doesn’t sound fair at all. This has nothing to do with the owner’s taking risk. They have even rejected clauses that offer them financial protection and fallbacks. Players have even agreed to take that risk, yet it was rejected. Some owners have even called out that online NFL streams are dangerous to their income. When people watch nfl online they fear that it is bad for business.
Finally, the players are being reasonable. Many people complain that the rookies have too high a pay, but the players agr

eed to a new performance plan for rookies. The players are in the right.

“The NFL’s request for a stay of the lockout that was granted today means no football. The players are in mediation and are working to try to save the 2011 season. The court will hear the full appeal on June 3.”
NFL statement on stay granted by Eighth Circuit:
“It is now time to devote all of our energy to reaching a comprehensive agreement that will improve the game for the benefit of current and retired players, teams, and, most importantly, the fans. This litigation has taken the parties away from the negotiating table where these issues should be resolved. We remain confident that the appellate court will determine that this is a labor dispute that should be governed by federal labor law. But the league and players, without further delay, should control their own destiny and decide the future of the NFL together through negotiation.”
