It must have something to do with antitrust law. I don’t see how a private business doesn’t have the right to shut down whenever it wants to. Typically, judges issue injunctions when lockouts are preventing the continuation of essential social services. There is nothing essential about football.

It is pretty obvious there is some room for skepticism regarding this ruling when you consider the use of the phrase “irreparable harm” by the judge. I FAIL to see how a lockout potentially forcing the players to accept taking 55% of the NFL’s revenue instead of 60% is causing “irreparable” effin “harm”. Even if the lockout was permanent and every NFL players’ career ended today, aka fantasy land, they still would be fully capable of finding work like everyone else. “Irreparable harm”? Effin HOW??
