The 1987 NFL strike, marking a pivotal moment in sports history, began on September 22, 1987, and lasted 24 days. Players, seeking better free agency rules, salary, and team roster improvements, clashed with NFL owners, leading to the league's decision to use replacement players. This period, often referred to as the "scab games," saw varied public and media reactions, with some supporting the players' fight for rights, while others focused on the games' continuation. The strike ended on October 15, 1987, without meeting most players' demands, but it significantly impacted labor relations in professional sports, leading to future agreements that better addressed players' concerns.

Prime example of life in general as to why we…particularly the newer generations should respect our/their elders more. Our elders helped paved the way by walking so that we can run.

Naw, Just you need to be more aware of corrupt attorneys and doing due diligence. Unfortunately Upshaw/ NFLPA had did not do players of favor by having his Raiders team suit up players like Howie Long supposedly last week where "scabs" should have played. No mention of solid NFL/USFL quarterback Vince Evans get redemption and end blackballing of former USFLers at least from the players side. Up from the rubble players became more aware of the antitrust exemption at the time "real" players were resuming practice. And they decide Minneapolis was the venue. Had the CFL entirely folded in 1987 (to address antitrust in a passive manner)this would be viewed as a "staged lockout" given the CBA wasn't addressed yet resulting as a combined botch as teams like #VikingsNFL also pulled a 0-3 with replacement players.
