NFL Lockout Ends, Players Report To Camp
July 21: Football fans exhaled after NFL team owners announced a collective bargaining agreement was reached with the league’s players association to end the 130-day lockout. Owners were bargaining for a better share of the league’s revenues, as rewards for major investments like new stadiums. Influential players suggested select owners were using the play to renegotiate for a better benefit than they received following a 2006 collective bargaining agreement.
