The NFL is entering the most exciting time of the year this weekend — playoffs. But that could all come to a screeching halt after they end when the collective bargaining agreement between players and owners expires. Once that happens the NFL could shutout the players. And then there won├óΓé¼Γäót be any games to broadcast.
And that’s when things will get messy between the NFL and TV stations.
ESPN, NBC, CBS, Fox and DirecTV have all agreed to pay $4 BILLION regardless of whether or not games are played!
There’s no telling whether or not the shutout will happen, but those four TV stations have definitely made a huge gamble with their money!
Ugh, this could be awful! What will America do without football??
