The Unbroken Line is the riveting story of how truly heartless the
business of professional football was and is - from the poor
pension plans and inadequate medical benefits to the greed of union
leadership which the authors argue takes advantage of and turns its
back on the very individuals who make the game great. At no time in
the annals of sports has the timing of a book been more important.
This unique story provides a fascinating inside look at how a
group of players and one attorney strategically outwitted the NFL
and the Players' Union leadership to score an historic and crucial
victory for players' rights. The year was 1982, a few courageous
men stood up to their powerful administrative adversaries when no
one else would during the most turbulent time in the history of
professional football. What was at stake then and now again in 2010
is the players' ability to earn salaries and benefits that are in
line with their contributions to their teams.
The authors, former Pro Bowl tight end Billy Joe DuPree and
highly respected attorney Spencer Kopf, not only reveal the
successful plan that began the end of player exploitation, but they
also skillfully compare the peril players faced in 1982 to the
heart wrenching situations of present-day, retired union
members.
