Lockout enjoined

As we expected Federal Judge Susan Nelson has enjoined the owners lockout, citing irreparable harm not only to the players careers, but to non-parties like concessionaires and fans. WOW! And if the owners are waiting for the NLRB to declare the decertification of the union an illegal tactic, then they live in a fantasy world far less real than fantasy football. Moreover, Judge Nelson pretty well rejected the argument, which was a stretch from the beginning. Saints have posted the NFL's statement on the ruling here.
