Judge orders NFL owners to lift lockout

A federal judge ruled in favor of NFL players on Monday, issuing an injunction that ordered the league's owners to lift their lockout.

The league will ask Nelson to stay the ruling, pending the league's appeal to the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said.

"We believe that federal law bars injunctions in labor disputes," the league said in a statement. "We are confident that the 8th Circuit will agree. But we also believe that this dispute will inevitably end with a collective bargaining agreement, which would be in the best interests of players, clubs and fans. We can reach a fair agreement only if we continue negotiations toward that goal."

A lockout was imposed after talks on collective bargaining between the players and owners broke down last month.

    @Mmmmm,

    It speaks volumes that someone highjacks your handle but can't even spell it right. Just proves that the troll is a troll is a ignoramus troll. Wouldn't waste time even responding to the buffoon.

    A capital M with four m's it is for sure and that is the real one. And even if the buffoon gets highjacking spelling lessons, it will be plainly obvious that its not the real Mmmmm. So, don't sweat it. This place is infested with trolling highjackers. I bet after I leave this message, I'll get highjacked here or on another thread. *shrug*, they're just little, insignificant trolls. 😉
