NFL Players Association renounces union status

Talks aimed at averting a work stoppage in the National Football League broke down Friday, with the players' union declaring it is decertifying itself in a move expected to launch a lengthy legal battle with owners.

"The NFL Players Association announced today it has informed the NFL, NFL clubs and other necessary parties that it has renounced its status as the exclusive collective bargaining representative of the players of the National Football League," the association said in a statement.

"The NFLPA will move forward as a professional trade association with the mission of supporting the interests and rights of current and former professional football players."
