Just yesterday, I wrote here on Missed Field Goal that one of the biggest questions for the Als would be all the off-field questions. Well one has been answered.
The CFL and CFLPA have reached tentative agreement on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. The deal has yet to be ratified, but as a CFL veteran put it 'Football will be played this summer'.
This is great news for the CFL and the CFLPA, it just did not make any sense to delay or postpone the 2010 season. Professional football leagues, other than the NFL, are tough to sustain but the CFL has been kicking for a while now and a stoppage would hurt it's future. It's great to see that the owners and players realize how much they need each other to survive.
In the New CBA there will be drug testing. Something that both the players and owners wanted to implement this year. Just adds more credibility to the league. More details will come once the deal will be finalized.
