THE 2011 NFL LOCKOUT

VS.

THE 1987 NFL LOCKOUT

The 1987 NFL Lockout

IN 1987, the NFL Owners and Players' Association could come to a contractual agreement, so the NFLPA decertified and held a strike.

This strike cancelled the first week of the regular season, but, soon after, the teams started to hire replacement players to fill the voids in their rosters.

Some notable players crossed the picket line

early, they included: Reggie White, Joe Montana

and Steve Largent

The strike officially ended on October 15, 1987. The strike ended without a collective bargaining agreement, though, and the players had to wait another week to play because they did not meet the owners' deadline for returning.

The 2011 NFL Lockout

On March 11th, the NFLPA decertified for the second time in 24 years.

There has been no work stoppage as of now, but there is also no collective bargaining agreement.

Like the Lockout in 1987, the NFLPA was filed a class action lawsuit against the owners for violation of anti-trust laws.

1. The NFLPA decertified

2. The NFLPA has filed a class action law suit against the owners for violation of anti-trust laws

3. A Federal judge decided not to halt the NFL Lockout

4. Both lockouts occurred when the NFLPA and the owners could not agree on a contract

5. Both could not agree to a contract through collective bargaining.

CHANGES

Not much has changed since the 1987 Lockout. Just the players involved, the comissioner, and how much money is being argued over.

WHAT WAS LEARNED

Not much has been learned since the first strike, the same issues are being faced.

INFLUENCE

The previous NFL Lockout seems to have little to no affect or influence on the 2011 lockout. The owner's and players are still fighting over the same matters, this time with just larger sums of money.

INFLUENCE

Not many changes have been made since the 1987 strike. The Player's Association and the Owners still cannot reach an agreement on the contract.
