It's not even like that and how you can't understand that is beyond me. It seems like the following mentality is being used as a basis on this arguement, "OH, YOU DON"T SUPPORT BUSINESSES THEN YOU MUST BE SOCIALIST COMMUNIST!!", hence your ill advised tea party comment.

I think I've been very fair in this ordeal and I've stated my beefs with the people posting in favor of the owners. You continue to use your jobs/employees/business as a example to what's going on. It's mind boggling why people can't grasp that simple concept. It's not your business, they aren't replaceable employees, they are the product just like any movie star or music artist out there.

Had the players walked out on the CBA agreement they made back in 2006, I'd be siding with the owners on this. As it stands, I'm not.

Also, I"m not "emotionally" invested in any of this. I could care less if the NFL folded as it's not what drives me in life nor is it something I couldn't live without. Would I be bummed if it did? Sure. We are having a debate in regards to the politics/finances of this situation and I'm speaking my mind regardless if we agree or not. It's just a bit annoying when apples are being compared to oranges though.
