The Lockout Continues

As the lockout continues more problems seem to arise (which is to be expected). A letter written to Commissioner Roger Goddell by the NFL Player's Association clearly states, "Your statements are false." Tensions seem to be rising all around, the players received a revision of the original negotiation which they found worst and rejected. Thus putting an end to negotiations.

The trouble is however, that all these people have families that they have to support. From the article, "...players can't sign new contracts or get paid under existing ones. Their health insurance premiums are not being paid by teams." This puts a huge strain on everyone involved, aside from the NFL player's families, there's also the players themselves who aren't getting the practice they need.

Some players feel as though Goddell's words were meant to divide the players, however this seems that it will not work, and that they will stick together.
