The union decertified and filed a lawsuit prompting owners to enact a lockout.<\/p>\n<p>NFL spokesman Greg Aiello, in an e-mail to the Associated Press, wrote that players were given the opportunity to share in extra revenue beginning in 2015. He characterized the union\u2019s actions as making no sense.
