Opinion: In CBA clash, NFL players facing class divide between big names and no-names

INDIANAPOLIS — Labor peace in the NFL has seemingly come down to a class struggle.

Consider some of the players who in various forms have expressed opposition to or have been described as against the proposed 10-year collective bargaining agreement that is headed to a vote.

Players you’ve probably heard of: Russell Wilson. Richard Sherman. Aaron Rodgers. J.J. Watt. Maurkice Pouncey.

If this deal hinged on star power, it might crumble on a goal-line stand.

Pouncey, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Pro Bowl center, put it this way in a passionate video posted on social media Wednesday, hours after the NFL Players Association’s board of player reps voted 17-14 to send the proposal along for a vote: “If any player, on any one of our teams, if y’all are hurting for rent money or anything while we’re going through this lockout, call us. Man, we’ve got way more money than what they had back in the days. We ain’t got to worry about that. All the vets on each team, stand the (expletive) up. Stand up! Show these guys that we care about 'em.”
