NFL players association executive director DeMaurice Smith rarely shies away from speaking on the division between the league and its players.
In a recent appearance on The Pivot podcast, Smith said that NFL fans truly don’t know the struggle between the two factions and the lack of oversight at the top.
“The league has probably been the largest group of bullies in the labor market,” Smith said. “We’ve had people declare war on labor forever, but I don’t know of another business in America that has antitrust exemptions, they answer to no one, . . . there’s no board of directors, there’s no transparency, there’s no oversight.”
