    "title": "All Four Quarters: A Retrospective and Analysis of the 2011 Collective Bargaining Process and Agreement in the National Football League",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The NFL survived the 2011 offseason despite being bombarded by a\n \nsports law perfect storm. The National Football League Players\n \nAssociation (NFLPA or the Players) decertified itself as the bargaining\n \nrepresentative of NFL players on March 11, 2011, hours before the\n \nexpiration of the collective bargaining agreement that the NFL and the\n \nNFLPA agreed to in 2006 (the 2006 CBA). That night, nine current\n \nNFL players and one prospective NFL player, led by New England\n \nPatriots quarterback Tom Brady, filed an antitrust lawsuit against the\n \nNFL and its 32 Clubs.\n \nThe Brady lawsuit was just part of a litigious 2011 in professional\n \nfootball. The NFL responded to the Brady lawsuit with a \"lockout.\"\n \nPlayers could not report to work, Clubs could not have any contact\n \nwith players and, eventually, games could have been missed. In\n \naddition to the Brady lawsuit, the Players sought damages related to the\n \nNFL's television contracts that allegedly violated the 2006 CBA,\n \nretired players fought for their rights in the labor negotiations, and the\n \nNFL contended that the NFLPA had failed to bargain in good-faith in a\n \nproceeding before the National Labor Relations Board.\n \n \nThe NFL and NFLPA ultimately reached a settlement of the various\n \nlawsuits and agreed to a new CBA (the 2011 CBA) without missing\n \nany regular season games. This Article examines the history of labor\n \nnegotiations in the NFL, provides a thorough examination of the most\n \nrecent labor dispute and its related legal actions, and concludes with a\n \ndetailed analysis of the 2011 CBA.",
