EPISODE SUMMARY
Richard Berthelsen | NFLPA's Trusted Legal Counsel
Richard Berthelsen spent 40 years with the NFLPA, fighting for player rights. Perhaps the biggest win for the NFLPA was free agency, allowing players to choose where they want to play instead of the owners having basically all of the power. He shares how he fell into the job working with Ed Garvey, one of the biggest influencers to the players at the beginning. Richard's journey for 40 years gave him perspective, as he was often leading the charge helping set up the strikes and in the courtrooms.

THE FOOTBALL HISTORY DUDE BACKGROUND
The Football History Dude is a show dedicated to teaching NFL fans about the rich history of the game we all know and love. I’m your host, Arnie Chapman, and I’m just a regular dude that loves football and is a nerd when it comes to learning about history. I created this show to share the gridiron knowledge nuggets I gain from researching various topics about the history of the National Football League. Each episode I welcome you to climb aboard my DeLorean to travel back in time to explore the yesteryear of the gridiron, and yes, that’s a reference to the Back to the Future Movies.
