People don’t go to the games to watch the players play football. They go to drink beer to excess, eat crappy high priced food and be with friends. Besides, I think the players are being whiny.

Avoiding the constraints of collective bargaining law through deunionization to improve the players’ negotiating position seems a legitimate tactic. Auto workers are fungible and depend heavily upon capital investment, but consumers of football games are paying to see players play rather than owners own.
