Correct now, there is a "calm prior to thefollowing storm" of barbs sure to arrive after aMinnesota court retains a hearing for your anti-trust fitthe (former) NFLPA has filed in oppositionto the NFL, set for April 6.
While the NFL continues to (in my view, wrongly) paint ontheir own because the aggrieved celebration in this fight,the players haven't done a lot of anything.
The NFL might have quietly landed anadditional strong physiqueblow within the public relations battle this week when reviewssurfaced that the owners will want Human DevelopmentHormone testing as a part of the new Collective Bargaining Arrangement.Previously, HGH was a banned substance in the NFL, but therewere no exams in placeto detect it.
Getting made their desireto implement testing public, the proprietors have additionalanother bargaining chip to their stack. I'm sure the proprietorsare sincere in saying they wanttesting in location in orderto preserve the integrity with the game, but much more importantto them will be the fact that they may now have the ability to pull it off the table tobe able to obtain the players to budge on the differentproblem.
In the event the gamers resist the desire to insert HGH testing publicly, it casts doubt withinthe eyes of numerous fans the gamers are, forthe most component, clean. Of course, we know that is not completely correct, but I must once againbring up the entire "perception is reality" problem.Many people are likely to make a snap judgement that because gamers do not want HGHtesting, it indicates they wish to have the choice tomake use of it. It is similar to the ofteninaccurate assumption that if you refuse a lie-detector check, you'vegot some thing to hide. It's a shallow generalization.
April six will only bring one more date to wait for,after which another. Meanwhile, as players around theentire do nothing, the NFL P.R. machine is cranked up androlling. Public opinion started overwhelmingly in favor of the players,but they have done nothing to maintain it. The proprietorshave gained a little little bit of ground with their P.R.assault, but of course by now, most are angry with each sides andjust want it to become more than. Count me in with that group, evenif I do tend to side more with the gamers on most issues.
