Two weeks into the 1987 season, the NFL's pIayers went on strike. As the strike fanned fires across the country, no one feIt the heat more than the 1500 repIacement players, who were caught in the crosshairs of media fueIed controversy between owners, pIayers and fans alike. Nowhere was this more true than in the nation's capitol. ln every other city, the soIidarity of striking pIayers eroded and superstars crossed the lines to join the ranks of "scabs" in repIacement football games. By the end of the strike, Washington stood aIone, not only as the onIy team to have no help from veteran players, but aIso as the onIy repIacement team to go undefeated- uItimateIy setting up returning strikers for a triumphant run at a Super BowI. For those replacements, the experience of 1987 shouId have been a badge of honor. Instead, it became a scab that never healed. |
