UPDATE: There’s been an update from ArenaFan, quoting Grand Rapids Rampage player Ahmad Hawkins that there hasn’t been a vote from the AFLPA’s Executive Board on the matter of suspending the season, but rather that the “The [Executive] Board got together and more or less stated that they didn’t agree with the suspension.”
According to one internet report, it seems the saga involving the Arena Football League has taken yet another turn.
The website ArenaFan, citing an anonymous AFL Players Association team representative, is reporting the AFLPA’s executive board has voted against suspending the 2009 season.
A statement released Monday by the AFL announcing the league’s board of directors had voted to suspend operations for 2009 stated the move was subject to the approval of the AFLPA.
An AFL spokesperson said Monday afternoon that he wasn’t sure what would happen if the AFLPA voted against suspending operations.
Storm veteran Nyle Wiren, the team’s AFLPA union representative, said Monday via text message that he was participating in discussions with other AFLPA team representatives via conference call. Wiren was not immediately available to comment on what the AFLPA had decided or to comment on the ArenaFan report.

Guess who,
Luckily, my job is still safe ... unless of course you have some info I don’t.
While I do cover the Storm, my primary job here at the Tribune is covering high school sports. So, unless the 30-plus high schools in Hillsborough County decide to suspend athletics across the board, I should be okay.

of course some of the players are against this… they wont get paid…. they might just end up like that jones dude if they dont play this season…

I certainly hope this is not true..As a fan of the arena league I hope the players agree to the suspension of the season, otherwise , the owners of the league will just fold instead of suspending one season…You have no TV contract and 5 teams , no good can come from playing…I beg the players union to just agree with the owners and let this play out…I do not want to see this league fold.
