NSFL fans who are not on the forums regularly are wont to miss some of the league's best drama - the flash in the pan grease fires that leave the walls of the kitchen singed, but no one severely injured. While the selection of DSFL GMs might have had the opportunity to get bad - applications were open for only 24 hours, and a few notable voices were left feeling snubbed, it doesn't get greasier than the NSFL Players Union Debacle.
Over the course of 5 hours, a Players Union was proposed to ensure fair compensation, more control over league-wide issues, and to "give players a platform to express their biggest wants/needs" while promising that everybody would flourish in a players first association and that such a Union would drive A LOT more activity to the site.
Immediately, questions were raised about the structure of the Union - would the proposer have disproportionate power, simply for coming up with the idea? What did "I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE/MODIFY ALL RESPONSIBILITIES/DUTIES OF EXECUTIVES" mean for the Union? Was it worth joining a Union that charged dues, when contract money is a pittance of a player's earnings?
Fortunately, calmer heads prevailed and a sensible and fruitful discussion was had by all. Just kidding, there were 11 pages of mad posting in 12 hours and the idea burned to the ground.
