Valerie Thomas on StarCaps, Congress and the CBA
Nov 10, 2009

Valerie Thomas posted a great analysis on the StarCaps case and how it relates to the CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement) and Congress. The NFL and its owners would love to have its powers expanded stealthily by trying to pull a fast one on Congress. We hope someone calls them on it before it happens!

The NFL is trying to get Congress to sanction the CBA-negotiated right to be prosecutor, defense, judge AND jury! Commissioner Roger Goodell advocates “narrow and specific legislation that would confirm the primacy of Federal labor law and to respect agreements on this important subject.”

I have 3 credited seasons 1984 – 1986 and 3 knee surgeries ended my career. I found out recently that post-93 players are vested with 3 years. Why were we left out? How many guys like me are out there? Is this being talked about in next CBA?
Thx
