NFL and The Lockout

There are many fans out who love the game of football. They will probably go crazy if something was to happen to the National Football League. Well in case you didn’t know, the NFL is in a lock out. Players are refusing to play, because they feel like they’re not getting paid enough money to do their jobs. This is an issue were players money, and fans entertainment are on the line. I can’t say I agree with what the players are going through, but I can agree with the fans and put my opinion about the situation. To me they’re just being about what they want, they jus want the amount of money they deserve. It is wrong what the commission is doing. This is also affecting the incoming rookies. A average first round first draft pick, is expected to get around 60 million dollars. If Matthew Stafford was too go in the draft and go first pick he would get 60 million, and guaranteed 40 million. With the lockout going on, officials are trying to say rookies are getting paid too much. This means they’re trying to cut that in half. The rookies feel that if their worth 50 million dollar, then they should be getting all of their money. This lockout will also hurt the fans that paid for package plans with their cable company, and fans that also purchased tickets to go see their favorite teams play. If the lock out continues then, the worst will happen referring to the NFL. The board needs to come to an agreement so there can be a season.
