In this podcast, Mark Nelson speaks to Kenneth Farrow, a former San Diego Chargers, San Antonio Commanders, and Seattle Dragons running back, and current chairman of the United Football Players Association (UFPA). They talk about how the UFPA is working to support USFL players currently in Birmingham, and the intention to unionize USFL players under the United Steelworkers.
Kenneth explains how they hope to help create a work environment so that leagues like the USFL, who have been historically short-lived, can survive and strive. In doing so, his hope is to assure players are dealt with transparently, respectfully and professionally is the means to that end.
Also, we asked Kenneth about the possibility of him coming back to play with the XFL.
We call this episode “Better Together.” It’s about football players looking at more playing opportunities, and making sure those playing opportunities lead to stronger football leagues.
