arenafootballunite.org/The AFLPU is trying to unionize indoor players as well. With something like this , I fear could kill indoor football. Most IFL teams barely make it now. Thoughts?

Guys willing to play for IFL wages are pretty easy to find. It's easy to find guys to play at CPIFL wages or lower. That makes it hard to unionize.

This just isn't going to happen. Most guys play indoor football for one of two reasons: 1) For the love of the game 2) to get exposure to move up
If the player is playing for the love of the game, he's not going to join a union that would make it more difficult for him to play. He would much rather find a well run team to play on instead of demanding changes to the football organization.
If a player is playing for exposure, he doesn't want to risk being labeled as a "union trouble maker" and limiting his opportunities.
I agree that players should be treated professionally, but forming a union isn't the way to accomplish it.

LOL, that'll work out ... NOT. Having a union for leagues that pay players $250 or less a game will never fly. The AFLPU is just making another money grab.
