NFL Players Meet Demands Three Game Championship Series
The NFL Players Association ended its annual meeting in Hollywood Florida with strong criticism of Commissioner Pete Rozelle and a demand that the league champion be decided by a three game series.

The group also seeks representation on the player-owner pension fund and questioned the costs of the commissioner's office. They challenged Rozelle's authority over endorsement contracts without player knowledge. The meeting also kept current officers Braase Parrish Bradshaw and Reger in their posts.
