re: Solution to help stop NFL lockout

I think that you're heading in the right direction, and you're almost there. It's not the season ticket holders who need to rebel, however. It's the state and local governments who need to start talking about lost revenue. It's the restaurant, bar, and hotel owners who need to start applying pressure on the league. It's the people who work in the stadium and depend on that revenue to make ends meet who need to start making noise.
The lockout will happen if and only if the owners allow it to, and all the above mentioned (and more, when you think about how many municipalities are already cash strapped WITHOUT major tax revenue cut off by the lockout) will suffer with a lockout.
The owners are sociopaths. That needs to be the message here.

I think you have the right idea. Everyone who has a stake be it finacially or as a fan(or both) should let the owners and local officials know how they feel and how a lock out would effect you and your community. They
are playing nothing but a P.R. game. If they think they are losing it they will be more flexible with the players. I still believe many of the demands the owners have gone public with are just bargining chips to get to one of the main concerns which is the guaranteed rookie pay.
I also have doubts that Jerry Jones can survive a lock out. He has bills to pay
Are there other owners in the same boat?
Slight change soph.
