Two Retired Players Joins NFLPA Executive Committee

Filed Under: legal, nfl, rumor

Posted By: BigBlueBruiser 03-15-2010 , 10:13 PM	#1

Player reps passed a resolution to include two retired players on the union's executive committee, and another calling for each of the 32 NFL locker rooms to elect a player to speak out on labor and collective-bargaining agreement issues, as the union wrapped up its annual meeting today. Under a resolution proposed by New Orleans Saints quarterback and executive committee member Drew Brees that was approved unanimously, two retired players will join the 10 active members of the committee, which runs the business of the union between meetings of the board of player reps and they will be nonvoting members. One of the two retired players will be the president of the NFLPA's Retired Players Steering Committee, Jean Fugett, an attorney and journalist and a former tight end for the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins.

Was a useless decision if they are nonvoting members.
