Tension development began after changes with the NFL commissioner and the NFLPA executive director. In 2008 after the deadline passed for a new collective bargaining agreement tensions rose even more. The inevitability of an NFL lockout was tangible. Role dilemma (the second phase of the conflict cycle) happened at the same point in time that tensions began to develop between owners and athletes.

These rules are ruining the fun in football.
NFL and NFL Referees’ Association Negotiations Background and Context The NFL Referee’s Association (NFLRA) was in negotiations with the NFL and reached an agreement on September 26, 2012. The big issue of the negotiation was the official’s pension plan.

Although this would be unfair to officials who have planned long term financials based on this benefit plan, the NFL’s promise to the NFLRA was not legally binding.

Why you ask? Technology changes every day. There’s always something new out there that will determine whether or not this product is purchased or consumers decide to go with a competitor’s product instead. This I know will have a major impact of this type of product but regulatory trends I’m not sure of.

Walter Weadley November 17, 2010 Pro Vs. College Football In my family we have many different traditions but my favorite would have to be weekends during the football season.
