That is a competition committee issue, not a union issue.

You didn't even read your sources.
The first sentence of the first paragraph of the first reference reads, "It’s way too early to blame the rash of injuries during 2013 training camp on the new practice rules and limitations implemented in 2011 as part of the new labor deal." The second sentence states that hasn't stopped "speculation."
In the second source, a NFL spokesman flat out denied Belichick's speculation, "We carefully monitor player injuries," Signora said. "There is no evidence that the new work rules have had an adverse effect on the injury rate or that injuries have in fact increased."
So good job providing sources which indicate your uninformed opinion is exactly that, uniformed opinion.
Quote:3. There is not enough evidence to back up what they do now. It's a shot in the dark. They don't even know the long term issues associated yet.
At least pretend to educate yourself . . .
