Locking of hand work of football without a new contract for lifting in place would allow better nanties teams to sign the best players, switch the competitive balance of the NFL and damaging the League, counsel for the owners submitted in documents of the court Monday.
Page 74 of deposit to the 8th Circuit Court of appeal of the United States in St. Louis set out position of the League in advance a hearing June 3 on his appeal of a decision key by U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson.
Nelson issued an injunction that has lifted the lockout on April 25. But the 8th Circuit issued a temporary order hold four days later - which means that players may not work or sign contracts, with one of the 32 clubs.
The arguments in the deposit were an extended version of what said the League since the beginning: the union move to decertify after initial bargaining talks broke down is a sham. that Nelson has no jurisdiction to lift the lockout; and that she should have waited for a decision of the National Labour Relations Commission prior to issuing this decision.
The League also stated that the locking of lifting with no deal in place work would result in chaos, with teams attempting to take decisions on the signing of free agents and trades under a set of rules that can radically change under a new agreement.
"It would be difficult, if not impossible, to decrypt the eggs and return these players for the clubs which could otherwise have contracts with (or, at least, a greater capacity to enter into contracts with) these players in the absence of an injunction" said of the Court of the brief League.
The Group of players suing League, including star quarterbacks Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees, have said that the lockout is irreparable harm on their brief career by preventing them from working at the headquarters of the teampractical complete keeping with his teammates and coaches and endanger the games. Nelson agreed and granted the injunction.
But the NFL said Monday that the judge "failed fully to consider the serious, immediate and irreparable harm to an injunction in the NFL" and "widely exaggerated both the injury suffered by the (players) and the nature of that prejudice."
The owners argued that players do not suffer because the lockout applies to everyone.
"Because there are no practices or other activities of organized football in a lockout, no player undergoes a risk of serious injury to the career or physical wear and tear", prosecutors wrote.
The response of the deposit of League players is due to May 20, four days after the two parties are scheduled to resume the Minneapolis court-ordered mediation.
More control on how share grant annual income of dredges on up to $ 9 billion, over the League and the players get to missing games. The first pre-season game is just over two and a half months later on 7 August, with the first game of the regular season between the Saints and the Packers set for September 8 at Green Bay, Wisconsin
The League continued to pound the decision of the players to dissolve their union, attempting to use some of the quotes from players in various media over the past months to prove their point of view. They cited comments from the public by the receiver Baltimore Ravens Derrick Mason, COORS vice president Jeff Saturday, plaintiff, Mike Vrabel and others discussing solidarity, that players still feel even if the union is revoked.
