[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 517493"] Look, you asked me and I gave you the $765 million rationale (and counting) behind the case; there are reasons why the NFL settled this first of several cases. You may not like it, but that's the nub of it. I suggest you write Goodell and tell him to get the money back and take the case balls-to-the-wall in court. He would decline you suggestion because he would lose. As far as this union goes, they got beat badly this last time around with the CBA because the NFL finally gave them some meaningful, current financial statements. That 2/3 of these franchises proved to be sub-standard investments with weak net margins put the owners in a stronger position. The owners didn't want to do it because they have egos...they want all of their friends to think they can have fun and make good money while doing it. Well, well. If it turns out that the owners actually cooked the books and that is discovered, they will be in the hot seat in front of the NLRB and in the courts, and they will have to settle for a ton of money. With good cause. That's the way it works. No one disputed what the NFL knew 30 years ago. That had nothing to do with it, as I explained. You brought up the matter of players from the 50s's, 60's and 70's. Many of those guys were not "handsomely" compensated. PS: I sided strongly with the owners, at length, on the GBPG during the CBA negotiations. Compensation costs were running most franchises into the ground and the de-certification stunt was a weak ploy. I side with the players on this issue because the NFL had information they chose not to disclose for the sake of profit. Each issue has its own merits. [/QUOTE]
