See that's the thing - if the RB sit out, I wager that a number of guys playing in Canada or XFL take their chance on the opportunity they can do as well as the middling RB in the picket lines. The top RBs may be able to flaunt that their performance is not getting matched, but if teams can survive or even thrive with a committee of guys making league minimum, the position may be even worse off.

The only way the strike would have any teeth is if other players at other positions sat in a move of solidarity. But how many of those 'overpaid' WR, QB, DE will be willing to benefit the RB pay if it takes a chunk out of their slice of the pie?
