Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
The NFL Players Association (NFLPA) has issued a strong opposition to proposed changes in California's workers' compensation laws that would affect NFL players employed by California-based teams. The article explains that while most player rights are governed by the NFL's Collective Bargaining Agreement, the state where a player works significantly impacts their experience, particularly regarding state income tax (California's is 13.3% for most players). The NFLPA argues the proposed changes would undermine worker protections for players.
