Although the existing academic literature had generally concluded that players unions in the four major US professional sports leagues were unlikely to disband during a labor dispute, the unions in both the NFL and NBA elected to dissolve in response to lockouts by ownership. This Article provides an explanation for why the prior literature misjudged the role that union dissolution would play during the 2011 work stoppages.

  • Concussions and Contracts: Can Concern Over Long-Term Player Health Pave the Way to Greater Guarantees in Nfl Contracts?
    CONCUSSIONS AND CONTRACTS: CAN CONCERN OVER LONG-TERM PLAYER HEALTH PAVE THE WAY TO GREATER GUARANTEES IN NFL CONTRACTS? Mason Storm Byrd* Guaranteed money in an NFL player contract is often misrepresented when discussing the earnings of professional football players. Whenever an NFL player signs a new contract, purportedly setting a new benchmark and surpassing previous highs for compensation, reports of record guarantees dominate the news coverage. Lost in the reporting, however, is the actual guaranteed take-home pay of the player if the worst were to happen and he were to never play another down of football. In a sport riddled with injuries and short careers compared to other professional sports, the most important contract figure is not total compensation, but total guaranteed compensation. Unlike professional basketball and professional baseball, NFL players do not receive fully guaranteed contracts, meaning they play one of the most dangerous sports and do so with some of the least financial assurances. This is especially troubling in light of the recent revelations, research, and litigation focusing on head trauma in NFL players. Although there is certainly desire among NFL players to obtain larger guarantees in contracts, there has rarely been the will or ability to do so. NFL players are free to attempt to negotiate for larger guarantees on an individual basis with any team interested in their services, but history suggests that large sums of guaranteed money are reserved for only for the most elite players. Even then, guarantees rarely exceed 30–50% of the total compensation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there is still opportunity for the players to negotiate for larger guarantees in contracts through means of collective bargaining when the NFL–NFLPA Collective Bargaining Agreement expires in 2021.

ROGER THAT: CALLING AN AUDIBLE ON THE NFL COMMISSIONER'S FINAL AUTHORITY OVER PLAYER DISCIPLINARY MATTERS AS THE 2020 CBA RE- NEGOTIATION LOOMS By Kyle Yager I. INTRODUCTION The National Football League (the “NFL”) is the most popular and most valuable sports league in the United States.1 In 2018, the NFL accounted for 46 of the top 50 most- watched shows on television,2 including NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” which continued its streak as the number one primetime show for the eighth consecutive year.3 Additionally, the NFL generates the most revenue of any professional sports league, holds the most valuable franchises,4 and attracts the highest per game attendance numbers.5 As an employer, discipline is of paramount important to the NFL.6 Without an effective discipline policy in place, employers subject themselves to major risks.7 Every NFL team employs somewhere between 43 and 53 players throughout each season, which results in up to 1,696 players employed by the league in a given year.8 Accordingly, up to 1,696 NFL employees are subject to the NFL’s player discipline policy on a yearly basis.
