Losing Big Time Money

The NFL is facing the possibility of having its preseason schedule effected by the ongoing lockout. Some consider the games to be useless and a potential way to get injuries.The owners want to drop two and extend the season with two more regular season games.

One thing they produce is revenue. For every week where games are not played, there will be a loss of $200 million in revenue. Losing all four games would cost $800 million.

Under new proposals, the players would lose $384 million of this revenue while the owners would forfeit $146 million.

With training camp getting closer, there will be additional pressure to have a plan put into place. This is going down to the wire.
