Damn, just goes to show how powerful the NFL is

This is precisely why they need to do everything they can to avoid a lockout. Right now, they're unstoppable.

But, as with other sports' strikes and stoppages...they lost fans. Some forgot their outrage and came back but I still know a guy who refuses to watch a baseball game after the 1994-95 and he's stuck to it.

The NFL will not fail, but it would at least set back the great thing they have going where everyone is making a ton of money. It's a lose-lose for all sides, except maybe the TV networks that have contracts where they'll get paid anyways.
