The Players have fired the next shot in the ongoing NFL labor feud. According to ESPN...
"The NFL Players Association is putting into place a plan that would prevent each top college prospect from attending next month's draft in New York, according to multiple league sources. The NFLPA already has contacted 17 top prospects that ordinarily would have received an invitation to attend the draft and informed them not to go."
This is a potential blow to an otherwise entertaining spring tradition. The NFL draft and its in-depth coverage has turned into can't-miss TV for millions of fans.
For the record I still plan to watch, as the "rookie putting on team hat" segment never did much for me. However, I doubt most football enthusiasts feel the same way.
I hope drunken Jets fans will still storm the facility and boo whoever their favorite team selects. Now that's can't-miss TV.
