NFL and players STILL cannot agree
The NFL asked a judge to keep the lockout in place after they accused the players of manipulating the Sherman Anti Trust Law. The NFL claims there are no legal grounds to stop the lockout. After March, 11 when their was no agreement with the CBA, players started to file charges against the NFL in federal courts. In spite of this, the owners have put the 2011-2012 season in jeopardy. The NFL claims that they decertified so that the players would not lock them out and now they cannot reach an agreement. This has turned into a lot of legal issues and players are trying to file lawsuits against the league claiming that they are breaking the anti trust law. The NFL believes that if the lockout was lifted by a judge, it would cause a lot of issues within the league because they think players will deman free agency instead of just trying to come up with a mature and responsible agreement that both the owners and players could agree on. The league may become is disarray if this lockout is lifted by higher authority. All we can do now is wait and see what the future holds for the National Football League!
