One of the things that gets lost in the ongoing NFL labor issue is the economic impact on industries and services that derive income from the games being played.
It was amazing to see a study of what gets consumed by Americans on Super Bowl Sunday. This includes 90 million pounds of chicken wings, 13.2 million pounds of avocados for guacamole, 8 million pounds of pop corn, 28 million pounds of potato chips and 49.2 million cases of beer.
According to the National Chicken Council, football fans consume 10 million pounds of chicken wings during Thursday, Sunday and Monday games for each week of the season.
If the games are canceled, it could effect the chicken industry by as much as $10 million for every week lost.
That's just a small segment of the food and beverage industry that sells its products to NFL fans.
Overall, this could have a huge economic impact if it keeps going.
