The NFL Fans Association is a website trying to unite all NFL fans around the world. It is a brand new non profit association dedicated to NFL fans right. It will be used to negotiate with the NFL concerning abuses of the NFL owners towards its fans. If there is no NFL football this year the sport bars will lose huge revenues, the fans will be frustrated and the NFL players and their families will suffer. We need a way to stop future lock outs and a combined effort of the NFL fans can do this. Would you please help in this effort by spreading the word about our association. You can see what this all about by going to profans.org. While there you can sign-up and leave a message. We need your help and you need our help.

Tucker says that it is critical for current and former players to unite behind the new NFLPA leader…hasn’t he been reading the news? None of the candidates has indicated that he plans to unite them. Tucker doesn’t endorse any candidate, but indicates a former player would be best suited. Former player Armstrong testified against retired players in the class action. Former player Vincent was NFLPA president when the Congressional hearings were spotlighting the problems with health and disability that retired players face, and he was silent. Gene Upshaw’s ultimate legacy may be that he so alienated the retirees and created such short-sighted interests in active players that “critical unity” is impossible to achieve.
