This final note today. It's not just Marketplace's fearless director Millie Jefferson who's had enough of the NFL officials lockout.
Besides speaking at the United Nations today, President Obama took a second to weigh in. He called the call on the non-touchdown last night... terrible.
The NFL, by the way, put out a statement today that said the game result is final.
This is how you fix fellows like Roger Goodell and his cadre of owners. You see it is about money to them, bottom line.
I have decided to not buy anything advertised on any network during NFL games. I will send emails to the advertisers who are doing business with them and let them know why I am not buying their stuff. I will let the advertisers know they are wasting their money doing advertising with the NFL. I will send this to all my football fan friends and ask them to do the same. Result: networks pissed, advertisers pissed, NFL commissioner etal pissed because they are not getting all of the money due them from "us" stupid fans.
POOR REVENUES=POOR OFFICIATING; do your part and copy/paste/send this comment.
Thanks- Ted
