I keep getting more thumbs down for telling the truth. You anti-union folks are basically saying Corporations can fire highly paid QUALIFIED employees with cheaper alternatives. Weep what you sow.

There is always middle ground to reasonable people and it has been abundantly clear the Union workers take a lesser deal than want…

Seriously, the players and fans deserve the best officiating available. The regular refs weren’t always perfect. Heck, I was at the Browns-Jaguars bottle game. But the regular refs get it right most of the time, and we have confidence in their officiating overall.

No one should think that sportsmanship is alive in the NFL.

if anything, it would get 100x worse and 100000x more expensive if the federal government intervened.

The fact that you don’t agree with someone doesn’t mean they’re “violating” anything.

But in all seriousness, I’m not sure what the government could do in this situation. Pass legislation outlawing lock outs? Yeah. I’m sure the Republican-held House of Representatives is just champing at the bit to empower labor in such a manner.

ZERO.

Sure, the present government is constantly violating the constitution, but it still needs to pointed out.

Stay out of citizens matters. Limited authority.

But unfortunately myself and most fans can’t bring themselves to do this… I’m going to still go to home games and watch the others on TV. Who in their right mind is gonna sit on tickets, psl’s, etc.

But the one thing I and other stadium attending fans CAN DO IS BOYCOTT PURCHASING ANYTHING INSIDE THE STADIUMS. Let’s go a game or two not taking a train to the stadiums and not pay $40 to park, drinking expensive stadium beers & sodas, eating hotdogs, pretzels, whatever. Carry that into buying anyNFL merchandise and maybe these owners and their ladyboy Godell will get some kind of message.

This is professional football. Should congress step in for the NBA too? How about the WWE? Regardless of how much we all love our football and pur teams, in the end it is meaningless entertainment.

These are pro sports, businesses designed to make money.

Congress is the government.

When the two start crossing paths, this nation is truly lost.

Let me help you regain it. Last night’s game drew an overnight rating of 11.5. That means approximately 11.5 million people watched it.

The population of the US is over 311 million. That means that for every person who watched last night, 30 did not.

As popular as football is, only around 3% of the US population cares about it enough to watch MNF.

That is why congress should absolutely not get involved.

Note to the Green Bay Packers:

You shouldn’t have left the outcome of the game in the hands of the officials. Since you didn’t out right win you deserve to loose.

With warm regards,

Al Davis

The country is heading towards a fiscal cliff with a 16 trillion dollar debt. I, although, voting republican, blame both sides and two bad presidents.

Congress needs to spend time working on things that are truly important like…oh…maybe Iran’s nuclear production project, or China’s spying and unfair trade practices.

I love watching the NFL but it is just in the end entertainment.

Call your team complain to them only the owners can fix this mess.

If the owners wanted it over it would be over in a second so stop picking on the league office and put the blame where it belong greedy refs and greedy owners

As most fans have season tickets when you go to the game do not buy anything inside the stadium no beer no hotdogs no gear.

I can not guess how much money is made each week with $9.00 beer and $5.00 bottles of water.
Not to mention the $120.00 jerseys

Eat and drink before the game in the parking lot where no money goes into the pockets of the owners.
Do buy any of the nike products wear your old rebock gear.

Congress should stay out of it and the NFL should hold firm. The replacements will get better.

And no, they have no business getting involved. They should neve have been involed in MLB steroid scandal either. Sports is not government.
