Fuk you Roger! Greedy corporate whore

[Mulligan]

It's important to realize this isn't a strike, it's a lockout. This whole circus could've been avoided by just Sticking with the agreement that was made in 2006. The officials aren't looking for one penny more than what the agreement was for. The NFL is a cash cow escalating revenues and profits every second, owners charging more for tickets, concessions and parking, the league making more on television contracts every year, but they want to short change and pinch pennies on the referees. Typical corporate whores, now you got what you bargained for.

This hypocrite Roger Goodell can't wait to fine a player like Michael Turner for drunk driving, claiming he will do everything to protect the NFL brand. Then he serves up this farce to the American public.

Agreed!

The referees union is just as much to blame as the owners. No part time employees have pensions in any other company. The NFL wants a say in the training and quality control of the refs and the union won't allow that. That is the main problem.

most corporations aren't making money hand over fist in this economy like the NFL. For the NFL to compare themselves like other corporations that are struggling in this economy is extremely disingenuous. They agreed to the pension plans in the 2006 Bargaini ng. Now they want to back out. The referees already consented to new officials getting the 401(k), trying to steal it back from the existing referees is total BS.
