[QUOTE="NFLLockout, post: 301594, member: 3241"] Speaking to the issue of greed, I think there is a little confusion about what these labor negotiations are all about. This is a lockout and not a strike, which means it's not the players holding out for more $$. What the players do want (and rightfully deserve) is better healthcare and other similar benefits. Right now, the players are not receiving sufficient healthcare during and following their careers. Did you know the average NFL career is only 3.6 years and it takes 3 accredited years to get just 5 years of post career healthcare? On top of that, the NFL has also noted they will not continue offering healthcare for current players during the 2011 season should there be a lockout next year. Please take a minute or two to read the portion of NFLLockout.com where we outline what the lockout is really about (nfllockout.com/what-is-this-lockout-about/)...It will clear up several misconceptions about the negotiations.
