Hplarrm Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 This appears that it may be one of the unintended consequences of the series of events which began with the NFL owners triggering a renegotiation of the CBA which has led to the current lockout. The players in their now more intense search for extra income are doing all sorts of stuff they might not necessarily do, or even if they did, the NFL could more easily get the player to cease and desist. From my perspective, the NFL has long made a series of penny wise and pound foolish decisions which have reduced or simply not encouraged a sense of family or loyalty from the workers. In this case by pushing a renegotiation they have a contractual right to do, the situation has escalated to a point where weird things are happening or at least not as easily nipped in the bud because the worker feels less affinity for their team and the NFL. Overall, the NFL has the subsidy advantage of having their young players training and development paid for by the college system, but the disadvantage of not gaining the allegiance and alliance with young athletes who are recruited and signed as teens by other sports like baseball and hockey players. The NFL gets a cost benefit from not having to pay for relationships with minor league players, but these players view themselves as independent agents rather than as representing the NFL or their team. Thus they take money to associate themselves with dicey elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
