Now, hopefully the NFLPA and the Owners can come up with a new Collective Bargaining Agreement within the next year. But for right now, as far as I know, neither side is in agreeance, and if nothing gets done soon, the 2011 season will not happen. How shitty would this be for the NFL? Football is easily the biggest sport in the United States. They generate millions, possibly hundreds of millions of dollars each year, and for that to cease, would be detrimental to teams and the league.
What would your reaction be if the league ceased for a whole season? No Sunday football, no Monday nights, no playoffs, and no Super Bowl Sunday. Would you open the league back with open arms?
Personally I think it would definitely be shit if the league stopped a whole season because the Player's Union and the Owners couldn't come up with some sort of agreement. Strikes never have a happy outcome, just look at the MLB in '94, it took McGwire and Sosa in '98 for baseball to really come back to full swing again, and the NHL Lockout in 2004, it still isn't out of the woods completely. It would suck all around, and I don't think would be good for the future of the league, no matter how popular the NFL is.
I would be excited for the league to come back, it would have an awesome feel, but I would still be pissed that the Union and Owners took so long to make an agreement. But who knows, maybe people would miss it so much that everyone would flock to games?
So what is your stance on the subject of the 2011 season possibly being cancelled?
