Richard Sherman predicted on Thursday that a lockout will occur when the NFL
collective bargaining agreement expires.
今年跳槽到四九人的明星角衛Richard Sherman，在上周發布的專訪文中，大膽預測
NFL將會在現行的勞資協議(CBA)到期時，再次爆發封館風暴。
"It's going to happen, so it's not like guys are guessing," Sherman said.
Sherman表示︰「這是遲早會發生的事，並不是鄉民們的胡亂猜測。」
The current CBA expires after the 2020 season. Players are believed to be
looking for certain economic changes, including more guaranteed money in
contracts.
現行的CBA將會在2020球季結束後到期，一般預期球員們希望在新協議中尋求不少
經濟狀況的改變，如合約中更多的保障金額。
Owners locked out the players for four months during the 2011 offseason, but
the sides eventually agreed to a 10-year deal before the regular season was
jeopardized.
球隊老闆們曾經在2011年啟動封館，導致球員有長達四個月的時間活動一度受到
限制；不過，勞資雙方最後還是在球季開打前，談出了一份十年協議，避免了
球季停擺的危機。
Sherman is expecting a lockout this time around "because there was a lockout
before. We don't plan on changing anything about the deal we currently have
right now ... I don't think it's going to be negotiated before the end of the
CBA."
Sherman被問及預期不久後又會有封館的原因時指出；「因為這種事先前就已經發生
過，而且我們(球員)目前還沒有打算對我們現有的合約，嘗試做出任何的改變...
我甚至認為在CBA到期以前，都不會有什麼東西可以談成。」
