The voices of NFL fans need to be heard. Here’s something we can do…
By Darryn Yates
I know alot of us have been very frustrated with this NFL lockout. I know most of us have held on to a small glimmer of hope and have tried to be pretty positive for the most part. But as this latest news has slowly filtered out that the CBA negotiations are heading south, I think I am getting annoyed and irritated. Part of me is ready to make a stand or at least attempt it and make my soul feel a bit better. I don’t want to neglect Sam and the boys, but come on…how much disrespect are we going to take? We obviously don’t matter nearly as much as the NFL and the Union have claimed. I am tired of being this little loyal puppy dog. How about we start making a 3rd voice heard in all this monkey business. If they knew us fans were going to stand by united and not show up to a game or stop buying merchandise even for a day or two…can you imagine the power in that? After all, we do pay their crazy salaries and allow them to live like kings. We are cool with it when they are giving us those freakin awesome entertaining Sundays from Aug. thru Feb. But they obviously don’t care about us, their desire to get more and more money is of the utmost importance, and they feel we will come back no matter what.
