It is ridiculous for the NFL to be here with one the highest rated super bowls and the league generating 9billion dollars. The game is at one of it's highest points of all time and this only hurting the game right now. The sad part is if there is no football at all this year, it's not only the players out of work. It's the people who work the stadiums, parking lots, management and marketing staffs for every team, ball boys, team chefs, trainers etc who are also out of work and will just add to the 9% unemployment this country is already going through.
The players also lose all benefits I.e., health insurance, life insurance, etc...

I'm with the players. If the owners could show some financials that justify them wanting more of the pie, then the players' union would have little to argue about. If they're not showing the financials, then it just looks shady on their part to keep coming up with excuses and poor offers with generic documentation.

lol. The owners don't need to show them crap. If the owner's feel they need to make more money than so be it. It's not like the poor NFL stars are getting mistreated and working for pennies in a sweat shop. We are talking about people making millions of dollars a year for playing a game. They're all a bunch of whiny spoiled little kids is how I see it.
