The Biz of Football :: Part of the Business of Sports Network —
The NFL Players Association has said that it will attempt to block any efforts by the NFL to lower debt and limits on the amount teams can borrow citing the NFL’s unwillingness to open their books to allow full-disclosure on each franchise’s finances.
