"We want this league to survive and we want it to thrive... But [threatening release] is just kind of bush league in a lot of senses."
"In the normal course of business, like any professional league, the UFL has disciplinary procedures in place for a player's failure to participate in league events."
"The quarterbacks called the UFL's most recent contract offer 'unacceptable and insulting.'"
The UFL is experiencing labor unrest as players were warned they could be released for planning a boycott of media days, indicating a breakdown in negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement. Players expressed their desire for the league's success but criticized the release threats as unprofessional. Tensions mounted, highlighted by UFL quarterbacks skipping a recent passing camp and labeling a contract offer as 'unacceptable and insulting.' Despite disciplinary policies, cutting players for non-participation in media days is not standard UFL practice, suggesting a deeper issue within the league's operations and player relations.
