NFL NOTIFY IT'S LABOURS

The NFL has officially notified its players union on Tuesday that it will opt out of the current collective bargaining agreement, which could lead to a season without a salary cap in 2010 and a possible lockout in 2011.

Owners had voted unanimously Tuesday morning to opt out of the deal, which was extended in March 2006. The NFL had until November to opt it out, but decided to do it early instead of waiting for the deadline.

This NFL league, however, emphasized that it will keep negotiating with the NFL Players Association and said games will be played "with out the threat of interruption for at least the next three seasons." More news on sports in forcoming posts
