Give the extra money to the season ticket holders - The Fans
Personnally I do not hold a season ticket and have only once gone to a live NFL game and that was in Dallas several years ago where I first had the opportunity to see Aaron Rodgers take over from the injured Brett Favre and I was very impressed on how Aaron almost pulled the game out for Green Bay. The only thing I regretted was that I hadn't seen the game on TV. Though it was a great experience I would never be a season ticket holder and that is why I have the folloowing point of view.
It is sad where two sides are fighting over money that should be returned to the fans by lowering ticket prices or go into a fund for helping ex players or fans that have invested sacrificially into the sport by being season ticket holders. It is time the greed of both the owners and the players are exposed to the real fact and that is that without the fans there is no NFL. The owners and the players have rights and without either of them there would not be this level of footbal to entertain us, but on the flip side it does sicken the real world to see the greed on both sides and how they forget about past players as well as fans that have made football the game it is today. I think they should take the extra money they are fighting over and set up a fund for ex players, and fans that have been season ticket holders for years and are the true investors in this great sport and are in financial need for health or economic reasons or set up a shareholder type system for the season ticket holders who have and are investing into this great sport. The players nor the owners deserve more money, but the little people the season ticket holders who have sacrificially invested into this sport.
