I posted this on PFT a few minutes ago, just spouting off, but the more I thought about it the more sense it makes. The premise is:

If even half the fans from the 4 teams Goodell has most visibly screwed over – Packers, Saints, Cowboys and Redskins – were to say “enough” and boycott the NFL for one single weekend, there would be so much revenue lost the league and owners would have no choice but to take action.

Think about it. They screwed the Cowboys and Redskins by taking away cap room for supposed salary cap violations in a year when there wasn't supposed to be a salary cap. The Packers and Saints, well, you know.

The Cowboys, Redskins and Packers are three of the league's most storied franchises and carry a ton of clout. The Saints may not be on their level, but they are certainly a franchise with some power given their profitability, visibility, success, etc. post-Katrina.

I certainly wouldn't want to hurt the Saints, and I'm sure no Packer/Redskin/Cowboy fan would want to hurt their team either. But think of the financial impact that would have. No ticket sales, no concessions, no Madden purchases, no apparel sales.

For one week. Just one. How many millions of dollars would be lost to these owners? If they want to be all about the bottom line, we should show it to them.

If there happen to be any fans of those teams lurking, spread it around. Let's see what happens when all these greedy bastards get what they deserve.
