Some of you may know about the potential NFL Lockout for the 2011 season. Long story short, the owners of the NFL used to make $40 Billion in revenue each year, and now they are only making $20 Billion each year. They want the players to take an 18% pay cut to make up the difference, but they won't open their books to show the players that they are really losing money. If the owners and players don't reach an agreement by March 4, 2011, there will not be an NFL for the 2011 season. (NOTE: A lockout is where the owners will not allow the players to play until an agreement is reached, it is not the same as a strike!) Not only will the players be out of work, but the coaches, the office staff, the people who work in the stadiums, everyone associated with helping an NFL team function will be out of work. Plus, the cities that have NFL teams will lose billions of dollars in revenue.
