Judge Grants Injunction to End N.F.L. Lockout Pending Appeal
A federal judge gave professional football players a
significant victory Monday, granting an injunction to stop
the N.F.L.'s six-week lockout Monday. Judge Susan Richard
Nelson of United States District Court did not stay her
decision, sending the N.F.L scrambling to seek a stay from
the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit to prevent the
league from having to open for business immediately.
If the stay is not granted, the N.F.L. will have to put rules
in place allowing players to return to work and free agency
to open within days, creating a flurry of activity similar to
the normal operations of an off-season. Teams will be allowed
to hold workouts with players, players will be permitted to
meet with trainers to rehabilitate injuries and coaches to
study game film.
