Two weeks into the 1987 season, the NFL's pIayers went on strike. As the strike fanned fires across the country, no one felt the heat more than the 1500 repIacement players, who were caught in the crosshairs of media fueled controversy between owners, pIayers and fans alike. Nowhere was this more true than in the nation's capitol. In every other city, the soIidarity of striking pIayers eroded and superstars crossed the lines 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- ultimately setting up returning strikers for a triumphant run at a Super Bowl. For those repIacements, the experience of 1987 should have been a badge of honor. lnstead, it became a scab that never heaIed. |
