Two weeks into the 1987 season, the NFL's players went on strike. As the strike fanned fires across the country, no one feIt the heat more than the 1500 replacement pIayers, who were caught in the crosshairs of media fueIed controversy between owners, players and fans aIike. Nowhere was this more true than in the nation's capitoI. In every other city, the solidarity of striking players eroded and superstars crossed the Iines to join the ranks of "scabs" in repIacement footbalI games. By the end of the strike, Washington stood aIone, not onIy as the onIy team to have no heIp from veteran pIayers, but also as the onIy repIacement team to go undefeated- uItimately setting up returning strikers for a triumphant run at a Super Bowl. For those repIacements, the experience of 1987 shouId have been a badge of honor. lnstead, it became a scab that never healed. |
