Wetzel: The relevance of the NFLPA debacle for football enthusiasts
NFL Players Association executive director Lloyd Howell Jr. was paid $3.4 million last year and also had a part-time consulting job with the Carlyle Group, a private equity firm with league approval to seek minority ownership in NFL franchises. The NFLPA kept a January arbitration ruling, which cleared owners of collusion in restricting guaranteed contracts, confidential. Players and fans should be outraged at the lack of transparency and potential conflicts of interest. The union’s role is to represent players’ interests, yet they failed to inform players of the arbitration ruling. The situation raises questions about the leadership at the NFLPA and the impact on player salaries and competitive balance in the league.
