yep he was the president of the NFL Players Association for the past 25 years or so - turbulent times ahead i predict for the NFL without him. Some give him credit for building the NFL into the most successful professional sports league in the world by working with the owners, no guaranteed contracts allowing them to build the league with only the one work stoppage - others see him as a guy who sold out the players, especially the old retired players from the 60s, 70s and 80s who played before the huge money and are suffering from horrible diseases and conditions resulting from their football careers and Upshaw and the union and the owners have done little to take care of them despite how rich the owners and today's players have become - and still the only professional sports league, the most violent one, with the shortest career length, WITHOUT guaranteed contracts for its players.

I heard today that the Union is going to consult with Donald Fehr about a successor - which for NFL fans is a nightmare waiting to happen possibly.
