The NFLPA is a consistent joke but at this point I wonder if this is literally all the power they have. On a general level the players are much easier to replace than an NBA superstar.
This has been my speculation as well. Eventually/soonish we'll have an 18 game season with 2 bye weeks per team and maybe/probably more games played in Europe, Mexico, and elsewhere.

Roger Goodell said that a 17-game season was safer, because most injuries occur in practice and pre-season games ...... he said that the NFL was "following the science."

If that were true, “following the science”, they would be playing flag football

Goodell is just laughable. If he would have just come out and said it was for the money, at least I could respect that. How does it make any sense to say a 17 game schedule is safer and most injuries occur in practice and pre-season games. Teams are going to practice regardless and you can hold out players in pre-season games. Total bullshit! It's not surprising that Goodell gets booed all the time. Should have left the schedule at 16 games and cut pre-season games down to 2 if most injuries occur in pre-season games. We all know it's about the money, just admit it fuckers. Having said that, being about the money is fine, just fucking say it and quit lying.

Are they going to increase team roster size? Say, 58 players instead of 53? That would make sense, so probably not.

The NFLPA is a poor rep for players. Only group worse would be any teachers bargaining association.

Same in Indiana. And we are losing our best young talent, to other jobs or other states.
