Over the NFL's objection Federal Judge Susan Nelson has sent the NFL and the players to mediation in front of a federal magistrate. The NFL urged mediation is inappropriate until the NLRB rules on the legality of the decertification of the union. I cannot believe the current NLRB will restrict the right of players to decertify their union. Nor can I believe the court will refuse to address the players anti-trust claims. The judge also issued a strong warning to both parties that litigating rather than mediating was very risky.
