NFLPA hasn’t launched 61-page collusion ruling to Russell Wilson, Kyler Murray

Earlier this yr, a key collusion case filed by the NFL Gamers Affiliation relating to sure veteran quarterback contracts resulted in a 61-page ruling. The end result was a blended bag for either side. And the doc continues to be hidden from view by the league and the union.

And we’ve determined to proceed to push for its launch.

Past the truth that the general public has a transparent curiosity in any and all questions relating to a sports activities league that hundreds of thousands religiously comply with and state and native governments routinely subsidize, the members of the NFLPA have a proper to know. The doc has not been shared with them.

It additionally hasn’t been given to at the very least two of the three gamers who have been the focal factors of the case — Giants quarterback Russell Wilson and Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray. (We don’t at the moment know whether or not Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson did or didn’t obtain the doc.)

It’s one factor for the league and the union to refuse to let the media see the doc. It’s fairly one other to hide it from the members of the union, together with the members who have been most immediately impacted by the case.

We however will maintain pushing for its launch. We’ve requested each the league and the union for the doc. And if the reply isn’t any, we hope to get a semi-plausible clarification for that from each events.

It gained’t maintain us from persevering with to push for its launch. All of us have a proper to see it. Particularly the members of the NFLPA. Particularly those that have been on the coronary heart of the case.
