KESSLER FILES INJUNCTION IN ORDER TO LET AFL SEASON PROCEED

2.29.2000

          Attorneys for AFL players filed a preliminary
     injunction motion yesterday in federal court in NJ "trying
     to force" league owners to play the 2000 season, according
     to Mark Singelais of the Albany TIMES UNION.  The motion
     will be heard March 13.  AFL players' attorney Jeffrey
     Kessler: "I think there's going to be a season.  Everybody
     should root for us in federal court."  The non-union AFLPA
     charged "that the owners formed an illegal group boycott,
     violating antitrust laws," when they canceled the 2000
     season last Thursday (Albany TIMES UNION, 2/29).
