NFLPA on ESPN: Think twice before trusting them

"We have to figure out how to make a distinction between this business decision and the journalists at ESPN who have given the players a fair shake," Atallah said. "Who can we count on to tell the truth? The only thing that gives me confidence is that there are people at ESPN and other outlets who are still willing to tell the truth. Given the media landscape we are in, player access is as valuable as access to the games. We will have to make a longer-term decision if we don't feel like our broadcast partners are willing to tell the truth."
With ESPN backing out of the documentary, known as Frontline, it makes the players even more curious. Just because they faced pressure from the NFL and backed out, it is now the focus and center of the attention of every player, and a lot of journalists as well.
