NFLPA wants more data

But do they need it?

The question becomes whether the league is being truthful when the league claims that profits are dropping, and that profit levels aren’t acceptable.  The union doesn’t need to be able to scour the entire books to verify the league’s position.

So if the union persists in its demand for audited financial statements, it could be that the union has decided that it will get a better deal via the decertification/litigation strategy.  And maybe they will.  But if that’s the strategy, the union should quit wasting everyone’s time and decertify.

I disagree. Without detailed expense information, it’s too easy to hide family on the payroll for big money that looks like expenses, but in truth is income.
