If the local teamsters went on strike would you stop driving? If the carpenter union was on strike would you stop fixing things around your house?

The NFL guys are professionals. Yes, we get paid, but I do it more for fun, exercise, and comraderie than for the jack. I view it as no different than a union being on strike and me working in that same capacity around my house.

I don't think you can compae what we do to them. Unless you are an NBA, MLB, or NHL (including minor league) official, I feel no need to stop watching football.
