Once again, the league had taken a short-term hit for a long-term gain, just as Upshaw had warned. His words are now laminated and in a display case in the lobby of the union's office building. Smith walks by them each day on the way to his office, a reminder of the stakes. He has taken a short-term hit, too -- with uncertain gains.
