Could it be? Could we really not have an NFL season this year? From the looks of things, there will be no NFL football this fall. If you care to listen to the media-types at ESPN and every other sports outlet, both sides (players union and owners) are not even in the same ballpark.
It is very hard to have sympathy for multi-millionaires and billionairs fighting over money. The basis of this urinating match, is the almighty dollar. Out of approx $9 billion that is made annually, the owners automatically get $1 billion and another billion going out, leaving the remaining $7 billion to be split up by the players.
The owners want more than the $1 billion leaving less for the ones who take the beating. If it wasn't for the players, the owners wouldn't be making all of this money.
I truly do not see this getting resolved anytime soon. The real question is, if the players are locked out and there is no football, how will the NFL recover from the strike? It is just hard to fathom how a sport, at its maximum popularity, could even go on strike.
These next couple of months will be very important as both sides will try and get a new CBA pounded out before a whole season is wiped out. Stay tuned as we could have just seen the last NFL football for a while.
