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.</p></blockquote><p></p>
