There is alot to this atricle that I am torn between both sides. I can see the players and the owners points of views. I understand what the players want with the labor dispute, it seems all they are worried about is the money issues. I can understand the rookies are garunteed alot of money without ever proving themselves as a player. I believe that to be true. I also believe that when a team places a franchising tag on a player, that player shouldn't be able to jack up the cost of there contract just because he sees that the team is wanting to retain there services. There are some great points made by both sides in this case, but being a fan of the sport I just hope that it doesn't ruin the upcoming season. I really look forward to watching football every year, just like most people, I would hate to see it stop over money. Players already earn millions of dollars and owners make alot of money off of them. I feel that the players and the owners have an obligation to the fans to ensure that the their differences get resolved so that the season continues without any delay. If they didn't have us, the fans, they wouldn't have the money.

Gabrielle Scholle's response: I’m not a big fan of football but i agree with you. I don't think its right to leave your fans behind. I highly doubt this will truly affect the season continuing. Just because some players aren't getting exactly what they want and they are having a hissy fit doesn’t mean every other player and team will do the same. The NFL has been around since the 1920's and I’m sure there has been many other situations where players are fighting for more than what they get but it still goes on. But this is just my personal opinion since I’m not knowledgeable about this topic.
