Vets are already being squeezed out by cheaper young players...they would not vote in favor of a rule that will make that worse.

NFL rules are collectively bargained, my man.

They are able to do that because Congress exempts them

From the application of usual laws that prohibit such collusion in restraint of trade.

If Congress is to address this issue, this exemption absolutely needs to be a part of the discussion.

very good point

and one that all here should heed; quite simply, it goes to the point that Jack and Jenk went up the hill to bargain with Congress, not to win hearts and minds of the collective society.
