I think it's pretty telling that the NFL would release a statement backing the call made monday, and then two days later announce that the lockout is over after months of stalemate...ya...must have been the correct call. Good thing we got that integrity back.
Ok...so the refs are back...most people are still going to watch and everything will go back to normal...except they still should have done this before a call as bad as monday happened.
I have a solution that I am going to try to follow. Will it really do anything? No, but it also won't have me benefit the NFL and will make me feel a little better...First, I'm gonna try to keep my NFL watching to the Packers...Then, stop watching the games at home...stop buying the sponsors products. Start watching the game at a bar and order micro-brew beers. You support local and small business, still get to watch the game, and the NFL doesn't get your "household" in it's ratings.
Again, is it really gonna do anything? No...the NFL is a multi-billion dollar business. But then again, I don't buy Busch beer, I don't watch Michael Bay movies, I don't listen to Justin Beiber and I don't watch Two and a Half Men. Is it because they are going to realize that their product is poor and change it for me? No, it's because I have a choice whether or not to give them my money...and I don't want to.
