NFL players react on social media to collective bargaining agreement passing
The NFL Players Assn. voted in favor of a new 10-year collective bargaining agreement with team owners that, among other things, will add a 17th game to the regular season starting in 2021.
Many players weren’t shy about what they thought about the CBA passing. After the new labor agreement was ratified by a vote of 1,019 to 959, players from around the NFL reacted on social media:
Against the CBA

They can't see the forest because they are so focused on the tree. You will be a former player a lot longer than an actual player in the NFL.

For those wanting FACTS why this CBA deal was DISASTER, read this memo from my lawyers. Remember, we were sent the email to vote on the new CBA proposal on 3/5. I posted the memo on 3/9. 2 hours later @NFLPA sent comparison of this CBA to last CBA to members for the first time! pic.twitter.com/k7CxDCJmE1

Negotiating and voting on this cba was a tough and hard process. We have labor peace for the next 10 years so let’s come together as one and maximize it together.
