The NFL is considering a lockout for the 2011 season due to finances caused by the crazy fiscal crisis that we are in.
A reporter from ESPN reported on the possible lockout. "On a scale of 1 - 10 it's a 14," stated DeMaurice Smith, director of the National Football League Player's Association.
This demonstrates just how likely a lockout is. If the League decides to go through with this,m then many people will be affected.
John Ourand wrote an article about just this. "If the networks go into the fall without NFL fames, they will see huge drop offs in ratings and sales."
This lockout does not only affect the players, as shown by the quote those involved less directly will also feel the sting of the lockout. Putting aside the financial aspect, the fans need to be remembered in this situation. After all, it is them that truly make the league.
