Basically, it's a plot spearheaded by Baltimore Ravens' kicker Matt Stover, and some people say the owners.
IMO, Gene has done his job as president of the NFLPA. He has the owners pissed at him. They're (players) are getting about %60 of under the current collective bargaining agreement.
Here's the just of it:
"The rank and file of the NFLPA has slowly begun to turn on Union President Gene Upshaw.
Not all of the players have turned against Upshaw, but enough to make the next collective-bargaining agreement between the owners and the players a harrowing one.
Baltimore Ravens kicker Matt Stover sent an e-mail to other player representatives calling for the immediate ouster of Upshaw. He called for this to be done before they sit down with the owners later this year to renegotiate the collective bargaining agreement".
