NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, during his yearly visit to seven NFL training camps this year, was rumored to have upset many NFl players during locker room meetings with him. It is rumored that Goodell had discussed a potential lockout during the season next spring. After hearing this, the players broke out in anger and concern towards what this met their future could entail; Scott Fujita of the Cleveland Browns was one of the most upset quoting, "What do the owners want? What's it going to take to get a deal done?" The concern of these players is only getting worse as rumor spreads from team to team. This battle between owners and commissioner can only lead to trouble as this may become the leagues first halt since 1987. With money being the main issue, who knows when such a disagreement could be settled? How will the millions of NFl fans react to the absence of the one thing they look forward to each year? What will happen to the players salaries? Only time will tell what is to become to Americas favorite sport. The absence of football next spring could lead to nationwide chaos and protest that has the potential into turning into something much worse. At this point the men involved in this controversy need to come to a standing agreement soon before a simple spread rumor could lead to a nationwide scare; which no one wants.
