Murphy, Fans want Football!

No football for a year? Last week Saturday, March 12th marked the first date of this years NFL lockout as of right now. 12:01 eastern time started that lockout. You ask fans around the league supporting every team, they want football. How could you possibly go a year without Americas favorite sport? That question is still up in the air. Green Bay Packer fans want football and so does their owner, Mark Murphy. In a recent article on http://packersnews.greenbaypressgazette.com/article/20110315/PKR01/110315144/Murphy-NFL-owners-want-to-continue-talks-with-players Murphy stated owners and the players union want football and want to try and continue negotiations. As for the players themselves? Not so much. they want a new re-constructed financial transperency. The owners are trying their best to bargain with players and meet their own needs and also the players. It's like a mini war going back and forth between owners and players. One wants more of the other and vice versa. As soon as the lockout started, I asked myself, what would you do on a Sunday afternoon without football? Or Americas biggest game of the year, the Superbowl! If there is no football for a year, me beeing a Packer's fan, I get to celebrate one extra year for winning the last Superbowl. Hopefully there is football this coming year and the draft does not get boycotted by top name prospects and we can all agree and have Americas sport back!
