THE BEN-DULUMS OF JUSTICE, IN UNION THERE IS WEAKNESS


There is no weaker players union in pro-sports than in the National Football League. The NFL has limits to what the players can get paid, but no bottom as contracts are one way streets, which the owners can void at any time. But interesting also is their code of conduct (if you want to call it a code) which says that if you are charged with a crime but exonerated you can still be suspended. Now, Ben Roethlisberger has been charged with a sexual assault, a very serious problem. But if he didn’t do anything wrong how can you suspend him for being charged? Anyone can be charged with a crime, that’s kind of a harsh swing of the Ben-dulums of justice. But that’s apparently one aspect of the collective bargaining that is not in the NFL’s union, if you want to call that a bargain.
