Can we all step back and just appreciate the irony that now that the NFL has lost in federal court they’re basically saying “but the NFL was perfect how it was, and now the players are going to ruin it by operating by free market principals (removing the draft, and salary caps, which by and large, are socialistic constructs that build ‘fairness and equality’ into the system). Meanwhile, the NFL appeals to a bunch of conservative republican judges who are obviously pro-business who are going to have to figure out a way to be pro-socialist agenda (Draft, Free agency, salary caps, revenue sharing, ‘fairness’) while still being pro-business, e.g; for the owners. I’m expecting the eighth circuit to literally implode.
