I refuse to watch another NFL game until this ref situation is resolved

THis is just total bullshit that the owners are holding the fans hostage with this lockout of the NFL reps.

And yes I know how the Eagles did last week but I still love my team but I think the players, who are also union, will appreciate and support the fans if they boycott.

Let's see if the union players & fans respect it. I think not.

As I understand it, the referees are not technically on strike - they are locked out without a contract. In any case, I think the owners could remove them from the stadium grounds for trespassing. I guess they could picket out on the highways by the parking lot entrances or something. Not very practical.

Which leaves me with just high school and college teams. And the Dallas Cowboys.
