Jeez, only unions would complain about something like this.

Imagine what would have happened if we'd hired non-union labor. Then there'd be hell to pay! The Official OAKLAND RAIDERS Ping List! If you would like to join the finest ping list in all of FR--or you ever wonder what happened to that Hoffa guy--please FReepmail GOP_Raider. Thank you and GO RAIDERS!

“Jeez, only unions would complain about something like this.”

Why is it so important to you, that you had to whine about it here on FR?

Do you so enjoy hearing reports of professional athletes, in practice, inflicting injuries on their own team members, or on themselves, that you now feel deprived of your pleasure?

I believe the NFLPA has every reason to complain about this. These off-season workouts are supposed to be “voluntary” under players’ contracts, but they’ve ppretty much become “mandatory” for most teams. This has long been a bone of contention between teams and the NFLPA, and will probably get resolved only when the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement is updated.
