WTF poeople. do the CFLPA actually believe that the league has money to spread around?? not a chance. the league barely treads water as a viable business , never mind a pro league. i agree that the players deserve more, but you cant get blood from a stone unless you are wiping your brothers blood off one.  and that aint right!...right?? |

The new TSN deal means there's a lot more money to go around. This one's not as simple as the NHL strikes.
The CFL's offers were pretty lame. Like Gary Bettman 43% of HRR lame.

Starting this year the league gets 42 million a year from their tv deal with TSN, the players see this as an opportunity to try and get a bigger piece of the pie but they are crazy if they truly believe they will ever get to a deal that even comes close to a 50/50 split.

The league should ask the PA to pay 50% of the costs incurred if they want 50% of the revenues.

CFL players have very little leverage. You could easily get scabs to take their place and the product wouldnt suffer that much.

Some may not care about the CFL or a CFL strike but if it happens it will affect people here. An empty stadium isn't a good thing. I'm sure folks who work there are a little concerned.

Finding enough Canadians especially linemen would be all but impossible. what does it take to change a rule? an owners vote? times of strike player origin rules are essentially withdrawn....you could definitely find enough players south of the canadian border to fill every team. |

The non-import rule is part of the CBA. Can a business, even in a strike situation, just operate a if the expired CBA doesn't exist?

Where is the non import rule located. you say its the CBA? i have no reason to think you wouldnt know...so its the cba. If there is no CBA then it DOESNT have to be followed. |

I don't think it's that easy across Canada - some provincial governments are beholden to the unions. Any labour lawyers around here? m. |
