ABSTRACT Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Yeah this is exactly what we need in the NFL. A forum!!!!! That is what Democracy is about!! I had a dream that Legislature stepped in and told the owners to suck it up and football will continue regardless if they get their money or not lmao. I wish I could attend the event though..but I have school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Dan Snyder has hired a private army of Pinkertons to break up the even, I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qbcall11 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 unions are too politically charged...this probably should be posted somewhere else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huly Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 The NFLPA is just answering questions from the fans and sharing their story. I think it will be awesome! I can honestly say the one that really spoke about it and touched my heart with the situation was Lorenzo Alexander. He mentioned aspects I never thought about.

Fred Jones Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Talked to someone I know. He said they are creating a video feed to stream video to the locations throughout the country each hosting an event. One, maybe two, NFLPA reps will answer questions via feed to their webcam. He also said they will be handing out T-shirts. I applaud the local "superfans" for hosting and help organizing the event. A dozen or so cities and their "superfans" are hosting this event at designated locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsGuy Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 unions are too politically charged...this probably should be posted somewhere else... Agreed. This is just a typical union tactic to try and get a bunch of sob stories out there to generate sympathy from the public. I wouldn't be surprised if they are convenient cameras there as they will get the easily coerced to shout into them 'No lockdown! No lockdown!' The NFLPA needs to spend more time focusing on getting a deal done, and less on these games. (Note: The critcism in this post isn't directed at Huly, just at miserable sports unions).

Not saying the NFLPA is not trying to get the word out, but I believe this is as much about educating fans as it is a media event. The "superfans" are the ones organizing and getting the word out to the fans of their teams. It didn't sound like the NFLPA is spending a lot of money on this event. One or two guys available via video stream from a webcam answering questions from a dozen or so locations doesn't sound like an expensive effort to alter the view of a typical fan. And, you don't have to go. The hosting site jumped on board so people would come on a Monday between two and five PM to generate business during an otherwise slow time. And, you can get a free t-shirt, grab a beer and spend time with Huly, Pez and fellow ES fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huly Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 I just want to hear their side of things and try to get an understanding of what is going on and what to expect in the future. I think it will be interesting to listen to with my fellow Redskin fans then we can discuss the situation but at least we are more informed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no sympathy for billionaire owners or millionaire players. Both fighting over billions of dollars generated by the fans....and we are the ones in the middle and getting screwed by both. I'd be outside picketing if I wasn't so far away. Players struck several times in the past to get their way and now they want us to cry for them that the owners might lock them out. No sympathy here from S&S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please. I have no sympathy for players or the owners. I just know crass maneuvering when I see it. Maybe if you weren't so radically pro-union, you'd see it too. If your position on things is as hardened as you are showing here, I would guess a lot of your negotiations failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
