Fans need to know and Fans need to act:

Trouble is looming for the 2010 and 2011 NFL Seasons. The NFL’s team owners and the players union are at a stand-off. They are miles apart on successfully negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement which needs to be in place by the start of the 2011 season. What does that mean for fans? It could mean a players strike and a major disruption to professional football.

In the 1980’s the NFL fought a knock out drag out battle with the players, and players went out on strike in 1982. Thereafter, a long term contract was entered into that kept the peace for years. Now at the end of that contract, the parties are about to go back to war.

At a time when things are going so well for football – TV viewership is up and so is revenue – the whole enterprise could be rocked by another mega labor dispute. Who is the biggest loser in all of this? You, the Fan.

Fans need to get engaged in this battle early and let both the owners and the players understand that the Fans are watching. In fact, fans should be as engaged in the off-season as they are during the season of play.

We at SFC intend to keep a close eye on this for you and you can rely on us to give you the latest information. Stay tuned to SFC for the latest details and tangible ways in which you can help.
