There is always drama going on in the world of sports and
this time its juicy. The NFL Players Association filed a lawsuit against the
NFL Coaches Association asking for upwards of $650,000. The NFLCA was stunned
as just a year ago they were showing support for the player’s during the NFL
lockout. It was stated that this was a move that would create much turmoil and
destruction between the players and the coaches. NFLCA executive director David
Cornwell stated that the NFLPA was challenging his authority and he was not
happy at all. DeMaurice Smith, the executive director who also has power over
the coaches’ association, and Cornwell have had a rocky relationship for years.
Back in January Cornwell wrote a paper critiquing Smith’s handling of the
collective bargaining agreement negotiations, which sparked a whole lot of
drama between the two.
