Is Jason Peters Ready To Dominate?

Your letter is hilarious! It's funny how fans like to make themselves feel so important. Dream on fool. There is no alternate league, and there never will be an alternate league that will pay the amount these players feel they deserve. Nobody's going to reorganize the entire league. Who plays on what team and where? Who's going to pay them their millions? Will public access TV generate enough revenue from advertisements? Why would the players play in some make believe league and get paid millions less when they'd be making tons more by giving in to the owners? The only thing that made sense in your letter is the last sentence. The owner's have nothing to lose. It's their league, their teams, their money. If the players don't like it, they can quit and make use of those college degrees that they've study so hard for! Stop trying to convince yourself that as a fan, you matter. You don't. Money talks. If the fans want their voices to be heard, they need to hit 'em in the pocketbooks by boycotting this upcoming season. We all know that will NEVER happen. Get over yourself.

It is time for the fans to speak. I have sent the following to the NFL PA. If you agree please send it to your local newspapers and Blogs.

I am a Football fan. I am also a worker. The players are workers no matter how much they are paid. They are the one's who take the chance of being injured while they do their jobs. This will be a lock-out, the equivalent of a strike by the owners - not the players. The players have an average work life of under five years. The star players may have contracts in the millions, but most players are not in that category. The owners have profits in the 10's of millions maybe 100's, we can not know for sure since the owner's never were willing to show their books. There is a reason for that. As a lock-out the workers have the right to seek employment in the same field, their contracts are not exclusive under the law in the case of a lock-out. If I worked for the PA, as the owners prepare for the lock-out, I would be preparing to set up an alternate league, arrange to play in public facilities, talk with individual local cable TV channels, get laws passed to give people the right to get PSL's refunded, and other ways to put pressure on the owners not to lock-out the players and fans. Right now the owners are looking forward to a lock-out since they feel they have nothing to loose.
