All the players have to do is Sunday at 1:00, not kickoff. You go to a game and they don't play. Line up for kickoff and them both teams return to the locker room, it Would make A huge impact with Saddam, I mean Roger.

Then Roger would hire players from division 3 to replace the regular players.
Then the replacement refs can officiate against the players they are use to.

Then Roger will spin it that these division 3 players are just as good as the regular players.

Yes, Goodell is that fucked up.

I think just the threat of not playing would be enough to get the owners to take care of this ridiculous situation. PS. Where are all of the people who should be bitching about the owners locking out the union that would be screaming Bloody Murder right now if the refs had walked off the job because the owners will not negotiate in good faith? (Sorry about the long ass statement/question.)

The real refs could gain an massive amount of goodwill if they said they would come back and continue negotiations at the end of the season 'for the fans.'

And all players would lose 1/16 of their salary you think there gonna do that? Plus how do you think the guy that bought a ticket paid for parking would feel towards the players.

The hold up is the pension the NFL already agreed to up the pay for officials from a average of $8,000 plus to $11,000 plus a game, the big hold up is the pension the officials want the guaranteed monthly pension payment when they retire. Where the NFL wants to do away with the pension and set them up with 401k plans.
Where money can be lossed in the stock market if not invested right.

Good article on the Pension dispute

The players would rather play with sub-standard refs than not at all; if they don't get paid they don't go to clubs, they miss their child support payment and they're looking at having to sweep floors for a living.

Replacement refs are horrible and don't even know all of the rules. It is a joke.
