A former Heisman trophy winner at the University of Michigan, NFL defensive player of the year, and perennial pro-bowler, Woodson is also the team’s co-captain and union rep. His words landed in sports pages around the country. mmediately, across Web message boards came the familiar notion that he should just “shut up and play.” As one person wrote, “Stay out of it, Charles. Keep your mouth shut and do what you do best—just win.” But as Woodson must realize, and as the wise, august message-board commenter clearly does not, this isn’t a moment for any pro football player to just know his place and shut his mouth. It’s about solidarity that both sides desperately need.Two very different labor forces both are facing battles for their respective futures against bosses that see them as expendable.It’s the 21st-century fight: from the Governor’s office to the gridiron.
