Report: AFLPA Rejects Suspension


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.
