An NFL behind-the-scenes look at the owners' and players' strategies, the antitrust lawsuit and what effect it all might have on the season
Unable to decide how to divide $9.3 billion a year in revenue, NFL owners and players ended negotiations on March 11 and the NFLPA decertified, relinquishing its right to represent the players. The next day the owners locked out the players.
The players then filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against the NFL, requesting an injunction that would keep the league from engaging in a lockout. The hearing for that case is scheduled for Wednesday in front of U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson in Minnesota.
