The NFL and NFLPA will conduct a conference call with Judge Susan Nelson on Friday morning at 10:00 a.m. to discuss mediation. The two sides have both expressed a willingness to enter into mediation but, as it is with most issues between the two sides, there are still some disagreements.
NFL, NFLPA To Discuss Mediation With Judge On Conference Call
The NFL would like to return to mediation under George Cohen at the FMCS while the NFLPA wants to return to mediation under the federal court. That the two sides want to sit down and talk could be construed as progress, but that they can’t decide on the venue for those talks can be construed as more of the same.
As I’ve previously said, I think fans should want Nelson to force the two sides to sit down and talk. Whether that comes from Cohen or from someone else Nelson assigns doesn’t matter much to me. I just want the two sides at the same table.
On the conference call will be lawyers for both sides. Here’s to Judge Susan Nelson getting them to sit down at the same table.
