it may be argued that at this point
Once the history of the 2011 NFL lockout is written (though we aren’t sure who on Earth would want to read it), the date May
24 will not go down as one where the league won the hearts and minds of the football-loving populace. While multiple owners
talk in the labor war in luxury hotels in Indianapolis for the most recent owners’ meetings, it was revealed that the
Baltimore Ravens are the latest team to slash employee salaries – in this case by 25 % – as a supposed counter measure
towards the ongoing loss of revenue related to the current work stoppage. Based on Pro Football Talk, the Ravens are now
among seven teams to chop employee salaries or put employees on non-paid furloughs. We commend the six teams that have made
the commitment to avoid cutting the salaries of the lowest-paid workers and hope more teams follows suit. Some teams are
cutting pay with the proviso when no games are missed, the pay will be returned, but that is hardly appropriate when teams
are taking orders for season tickets right now without incurring the costs of preseason training camps or rookie salaries.
With no obligation to pay for players during the lockout, it may be argued that at this point, the only non-
administrative/non-employee expenses the owners are incurring right now would be the legal fees caused by a lockout that they
instigated.The NFL originates track of a different way to counterbalance the supposed terrible lack of revenue that hasn’t
actually happened yet – they’re raising the prices of replica New York Giants jerseys by five dollars per — even the rookie authentic NFL jerseys that weren’t made yet. You see,
once the rookies aren’t signed, they weren’t assigned numbers, there are no jerseys to market. The NFL’s online shop is
taking advance orders, though, and the alleged green bay super bowl jerseys for first overall pick Cam Newton(notes) comes with an
interesting disclaimer:Cam Newton’s number is susceptible to change and also the kids jerseys will ship in 5-7 working days after the official number has been assigned
through the team.Quite simply, whenever you buy an official replica NFL team jerseys, you’re purchasing the future of an organization that is claiming poverty in about 12 different
directions, but doesn’t have trouble borrowing against rookie talent it hasn’t yet signed, paid, or assigned numbers to. It’s
an embarrassment of fairly sizeable proportions, but what would you expect from a company freezing out the low people about
the totem pole, seeking deregulation wherever it may be found, and hoarding money like it’s going out of style? When the
biopic of the infamous Enron execs hadn’t recently been titled as a result, the history of the lockout could be served with
“The Smartest Guys within the room.” As well as for many of the same reasons.
