Summary
Two weeks into the 1987 season, the NFL's players went on strike. As the strike fanned fires across the country, no one felt the heat more than the 1500 replacement players, who were caught in the crosshairs of media fueled controversy between owners, players and fans alike. Nowhere was this more true than in the nation's capitol. In every other city, the solidarity of striking players eroded and superstars crossed the lines to join the ranks of 'scabs' in replacement football games.
