NFL Lockout

If the NFL and the players union don't work out a deal by Friday, there is a possibility that the owners will lock out the players or the NFLPA may decertify and take its fight to court. Either way, the outcome of a scenario if an agreement is not met could be chaotic and could possibly wipe out all or some of the upcoming season. Looking past the worries of the rich players and the wealthier team owners, its the ones that go unnoticed that will suffer the most. On average there are 3,739 workers at each game, from ticket salesman to janitors and they would all be out jobs until this argument was settled. Its weird how the greed of the people in charge, is going to end up affecting the ones at lower level positions much more. Locations near stadiums will also suffer, hotels, restaurants, bars etc. will all lost out on that massive amount of revenue received during the NFL season. Not only will the local venues be hurt, but the local tax districts would as well. For example, in Foxborough, Massachusetts, revenue from the New England Patriots' stadium pays for big-ticket items such as buses, school computers, highway truck and fire engines.
If there was an NFL lockout, this would be a huge problems for everyone, including players, workers, fans. Although some of the negative aspects may seem minuscule to the NFL, to the people involved they are huge factors that may very well affect their lives. Hopefully in the next two days, the NFL and the players union open their eyes to the potential damage this could take on communities all over and in turn come to some sort of agreement that will work best for each other and everyone else involved.
