Although the two sides of any labor battle have to solve their problems at the negotiating table, the public relations campaign can be equally important. While the public doesn’t exactly have a say in what the two sides agree to, a well-coordinated public relations blitz can force one side to re-examine their offers. The NFLPA is developing such a PR campaign to get the fans on their side and prevent a potential lockout that could wear down the will of the union members.

Re: Today is "Let Us Play Day"
The players don't even get guarnateed salaries in the roughest sport ever.
They sign a lot of paper contracts, but few of them realize the total value.
I'm with the players on this. The owners sit on a tv deal that pays them through the lockout. they are going to cream the players and they will get hosed.
This is greed vs greed. but the owners don't put their bodies and eventual lives on the line for our entertainment.

Re: Today is "Let Us Play Day"
30 years ago i would have been on the players side no doubt.
however in 2011 these guys are getting paid millions especially first round players like maybin and spiller who have done nothing to even remotely deserve being paid more then the league minimum.
this deal should be simple
1. rookie pay scale
2. some adjustment to pension for retired vets(guys pre 1990)
3. better health care post career
4. similar cap to what we had before
screw the 18 game schedule and any other minor issues
they solve that list above which in my opninion should be simple

Re: Today is "Let Us Play Day"
As Bills fans, I can't see how it's possible for us to side with the players. Blue collar (and low end white collar) fans have already been removed from most NFL (NBA, MLB) venues because we simply can't afford tickets, parking and concessions. Player salaries are a huge reason why... And, IMO, players are compensated WAY too high. I'd rather see a league where a player has to scrape out a living just like the rest of us... And a $30,000 paycheck for winning a playoff game is huge incentive.

Re: Today is "Let Us Play Day"
Oh and BTW, I want to get a shirt that says "Ralph was right, Jerry! You were wrong!"
Ralph complained about the current CBA and said that he doesn't understand it, but he honestly did. I just think that he didn't understand why the owners felt they HAD to sign that contract. He foresaw some of the money problems that we are seeing now...but everyone made him out to be a villain.

Re: Today is "Let Us Play Day"
Does anyone really think that if the Owners win, ticket/parking prices will go down?
I didn't think so!
Every decision made in this should be for the best interest of the people it ultimately affects... the fan! How do "we" (the owners) lower ticket prices, provide the best possible product on the field, and the best possible game-day experience in the stadium/on tv?
If those are the questions, the answers will fill themselves in.
