NFL

Looks like a lock out, the players decertify their union.
I don't get it the NFL has never been in better shape,and they demand a billion dollars back?

this is just the height of arrogance. Millionaires vs billionaires are fighting about 9 billion dollars....they can all get ****ed

Wonder if this will affect the NFL like the NHL lock out affected that league? Doubt it but we will see. Bring back the AFL so Ican at least watch some football!! Or will they start playing CFL games?

loki · 03-11-2011, 04:53 PM

you're not going to miss any football...this will be cleared up in a few weeks

I'm hopeful that this will be resolved but I do believe that fans will become fans again just as soon as the first game is played. The NFL is still king and will be for a long long time.

Baseball will benefit though in the meantime.

Last lockout some of the stars crossed the line and played, the product was not very good.
It's going to be interesting everyone is a free agent.

The NFL may get stung a little but it is much more visible league now than the NHL was at this point in their lockout drama by several orders of magnitude. Fans may pout in the NFL's absence but everyone will still be there come first kickoff.

Every public servant in America is in danger after the bill passed in Wisconsin. I refuse to listen to this crap. Let's see some of the NFL players go get a real job!

I hope they lock out the entire season-Jim Irsay has been counting the revenue for the Super Bowl next year before it's even played, so let them cancel it.

Who cares...it's baseball season!!

Go Mets!!

With the union decertifying and this going to the courts the owners have little-to-no leverage. Their only hope is that it gets drug out in the legal system.

A lot of other people other than players are getting screwed by this whole process right now. The only people who benefit from a lockout are the owners, every other employee of the team is out of a job until this is settled.

VirtualSmitty · 03-12-2011, 12:27 AM

Baseball, America's passtime, is almost here. I could care less about this news right now

Baseball. Isn't it that one thing people across the country used to care about until around 1994, and now only people in about eight cities do?

That is the thing right there. Everyone down to the guy that rips the tickets is going to be sweating it out. There is a massive support system for these guys to go out there and play ball. Sponsorships, advertising, it's all a stake.

No, I think you have that confused with hockey. Baseball is the sport that survives without having to resort to a salary cap, has the highest paid athletes in the country, and plays the longest season
