You may be right for many people, but not for me. If players press this agenda to the point of a lockout, I would drop NFL football altogether. I don't need its addictive rush that badly.

Ok, if the lock out occurs, it will be the owners that do it, not the players. Basically, if I understand it all correctly, if the players don't agree, to the new bargaining agreement, by a certain date, then the owners will lock them out. Not a strike persay. A forced strike is more like it.
