I'm a football fan :hide: I've been engaged in a few pretty heated discussions with meatheads who support the owners in this thing.

The owners, as you could probably assume without having any other information at your disposal, are lying their asses off at lightspeed.

This is obviously a tactic to make the players look bad in the press, since many players will oppose it. The union is making a big mistake if they allow the owners to make an issue of this.
