From the second week of NFL 1987 season On September 22, 1987, the NFLPA began a 24-day strike that resulted in most of the league’s 1,585 players missing three weeks of action due to free agency and demands for better pay.
The strike ultimately caused the league to cancel Week 3, but the owners replaced the players with non-football players, including semi-pros and former college players, for the next three games.
Although this was only the second strike in just six years, it is largely credited with helping to shape the modern NFL.
“While the strike was not a shining moment for the NFLPA, it helped us legally prove our case in the long run,” former NFLPA General Counsel Richard Bertelsen said, according to the union’s website. . “It shows how strongly the players support the free agent effort, and in the end, the players earned it.”
