[QUOTE="PFanCan, post: 301582, member: 1989"] I don't support either side more than the other (NFLPA or owners). It's a business-- their business. If they choose to shut down rather than find a solution, that is their decision. We, the customers can then choose to spend our money elsewhere, or wait, or both. Some argue that MLB never recovered from the strike in the '80s and gave the opportunity to the NBA to prosper in it's place. No doubt the NFL organizations know this history lesson, and it certainly weighs on their decisions. Several folks commented that this is all about greed. Yes, it is. I believe greed is a good thing. Without greed, civilization does not happen. Ask yourself, if you thought you could get a pay raise at work, would you not try for it? Of course you would. That is all that is happening with the NFL right now. Lastly, several folks questioned why "millionaires" or "billionaires" need more money? My answer is that just because those people are wealthier than most others, doesn't mean that they don't want more money. Consider the following: Did you answer "yes" to my question above (the one about wanting a raise)? If so, consider that most of the world consider the average salary in the USA as being "rich". Why would anyone making so much money want more, they would ask? It's all relative. So, speaking of greed: I want LOTS OF TOUCHDOWNS scored by the Packers today against the Cowboys. LOTS and LOTS! Go Pack! [/QUOTE]
