The lockout is going to happen today and look PATHETIC in light of Japan

[Sam Mills Fan]

Thousands dead in Japan and we have billionaires and millionaires fighting over how rich the other gets to be less than 24 hours later. Talk about a PR nightmare if they do decide to pull the decertification/lockout today.

By the way, if you haven't done so, text REDCROSS to 90999 to give $10 to Japanese relief efforts today.

[BBQ&Beer]

Pretty much.

Carolina beat Miami with 1 second to play....so the world isn't coming to a complete end today......

[Kettle]

I'll be hanging on to my ten dollars. The red cross gets my blood.

One has absolutely nothing to do with the other and to draw any comparisons or parallels is just desperate sensationalism at it's best.

[Dpantherman]

i was hoping not to see what of these today

...They have everything to do with one another. If the lockout happens tonight, the evening news will lead tomorrow with "NFL LOCKS PLAYERS OUT IN DISPUTE OVER BILLIONS" followed by "JAPAN CONTINUES TO COUNT ITS DEAD IN WAKE OF THEIR WORST EARTHQUAKE IN THEIR HISTORY". Now how does that juxtaposition look to your average Joe Blow?

Japan leads, no matter what.

So what, we're pro-lockout now on the Huddle now? Did I miss that memo?

I feel bad for Japan but I will not donate money unless I know exactly where it is going. Especially after all the BS with the united way. If 1/3 of the US donated $10, that would be around 1 billion to the Red Cross. Japan would not even see half of that. Red Cross is a non profit organization yet their CEO makes over 500k a year. To top it off most non profit organizations are tax exempt.

[mav1234]

don't get me wrong, 500k is a lot of money, but that's not exactly big money for a CEO.

[Eazy-E]

Oh I know but they may want to consider changing non profit to something more fitting. Also that is a lot of money when you are tax exempt. I mean look at how much people who run churches make. A guy where I live who has 3 churches in the area nets over 5 million a year and owns 3 homes in the area that were all well over 1 million dollars.
