[QUOTE="jaybadger82, post: 462585, member: 6211"] I don't really think a collective action problem is anyone's fault. It's just a social dynamic that explains why a particular result wasn't achieved. You asked. [SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma][/FONT][/SIZE] I conceded that "security" was widely used to describe what players receive when they sign contracts/extensions. I believe the term is a misnomer. On the balance, the greater security lies with NFL organizations, who possess the option to terminate an agreement. [SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=black][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] That about sums it up. [SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=black][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] It's easy to speculate when you don't have to rationalize anything. At the moment, the Packers are the ninth most valuable franchise in the NFL [URL='http://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbadenhausen/2011/09/07/the-nfls-most-valuable-teams/2/']according to Forbes[/URL]. Granted, they're riding a wave of popularity from SB XLV, but given their ability to sell out Lambeau and issue stock, I think it's a bit presumptive to say they would have folded. I doubt an NFL franchise has failed since the 50s. FWIW, I appreciate the necessity of professional sports (and the NCAA) to operate in violation of antitrust laws in order to maintain competitive balance. But I also appreciate that players unions serve an important role in reigning them in. P.S., With regards the "old" rating my last post received from HardRightEdge: I don't understand why those comments were old when they contained new material addressing an issue raised by someone else (re: why the NFLPA hasn't negotiated for a better contract environment for players). You're welcome to disagree with me, but the "old" label is really poorly chosen where a post contains new arguments. Ignore this thread if you've grown weary of the debate. Thoughtless rating.
