Associated Press

WAILEA, Maui — Gene Upshaw was re-elected today for his ninth consecutive three-year term as executive director of the NFL Players Association.

The 62-member board of player representatives, meeting here, voted unanimously to re-elect the former guard for the Raiders, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Upshaw, 61, was first elected to the position in 1982, immediately after his playing career ended.
