Yeah, that didn't happen for me in 1995 for MLB... but whatevs.

Different times; different situations. Even the almost-stoppage a few years had folks worrying but ultimately everyone came back (probably even the ones that claimed they will never support the NFL again watched every game possible).

Maybe but they will definitely lose some fans. I for one really don't care, if they stopped for 3 years straight I would be in front of my TV on that 4th year cheering my team on Sunday. Just love it to much to stop. I will quit football the day I die lol

Exactly; this country is obsessed with football. I think if people looked at the real world how many actual fans out there, rather than the small internet crowd, that this is sport is as popular as ever. Even if those people follow through and don't ever come back, that number is so small it won't even have a noticeable effect.

Almost stoppages, don't count. Go out for a year and shyte gets real.

I'll believe it when I see it, which I doubt will happen.
I saw t happen, which you disregard as a comparable. We lost a season and a World Series in 1994. Lose a season and a Super Bowl in an environment where experts say viewership is declining for the NFL.....Roll the dice, NFL...Are you willing to do that? (NFL).

Soccer (gulp) may get its real chance in the USA

Not to mention the XFL if they can hold on that long.

Pshaw! It's the LFL that is the real threat.

I don't care who has to give in and give up what, as long as soccer doesn't get too popular in the US. That is the worst possible outcome of any situation.

There is no where forum appropriate for me to go with the picture you just posted. However, don't be mad at me because soccer is awful and you got conned into liking it.
I don't blame you for not being able to enjoy the beautiful game at all. Not everybody has taste, it's on us to learn to live with the rest of you as best we can :)

For a short while, I was watching Pele and thought I liked it....But then I had that shot of penicillin, and it went away.

The wonders of modern science!

And those of us with a good sense of reality have learned to accept your delusions as a side affect of your... condition.

AND that Jason Garrett leads the Cowboys through it all for several more years!:whistle:
I hate Garrett even more than you, but even Garrett would have led us to more than a FG in the Super Bowl.

And they would have held the Patriots to 3 points until the 4th quarter?...ahhh, no.

Too bad he couldn't make it to the superbowl, or even past the divisional round.

Would have? Oh that's right.... You got thumped by us and didn't make it. And here I figured you for one of the few logical cowgirl fans.
