Won’t happen. Almost all CBA’s have a “no strike - no lock out” clause for the life of the contract. Once the contract expires all bets are off however. Trust me on this issue.RolandDeschain":1z8uc53i said:Unless they decide to strike before then.

Only in a sense that the contract money has gotten so out of control that the league needs to shut down and reset. Very few if any NFL players are actually worth anything near the money they are making at present. Maybe it's time for America to value it's military, police, first responders, and teachers more than it does professional game players and grifter career politicians too. Go ahead and strike players. Kill the golden goose.mrt144":ova75d9h said:HawkGA":ova75d9h said:For the league, hopefully never. That would be stupid for both sides.

I don't know, as much as missing a season would suck, and as much as baseball has squandered its pole position in the american consciousness, it's plausible that taking a season off could lead to a long term better outcome for the league itself.

Haha, I know more about them than you think.chris98251":2kz3kxac said:RolandDeschain":2kz3kxac said:Unless they decide to strike before then.

You know nothing about Unions obviously and have a bias, they would not strike unless there was a gross breach of the contract between the Company and the Union and negotiations were not happening or refused by the company.

The Salary cap will drop at some point if the revenue drops as well. There will be a big ass dispute when this happens, the Owners want their money and greed, the players don't want salaries going backwards, but the pie has shrunk, no whip cream anymore and reduced amount of filling to compensate for cost will start, maybe practice squad, or reduce roster back to 49 players.
When we start seeing these ideas thrown on the table we will know there is a blow up on the horizon.
