The "Super Bowl" of The Legal World

Professional football is gearing up for its biggest game of the season this weekend, but the bigger showdown could take place in the legal arena later this year. There's a strong chance a labor dispute could result in an NFL lockout next fall. We explore what this dispute says about the business of professional sports and where consumers and fans fit into it.

Irony alert: The owner of a business with a bigoted name (Redskins) accuses a newspaper of being bigoted... one year after that business fought a lawsuit accusing the business of profiting from bigotry. Nice try, Mr. Snyder.
Dan Snyder is a short white man with no athletic ability of his own so he tries to live out his athletic fantasies through the Redskins. He has WRECKED the team over these last 12 years. And I'm not even a Redskins fan.
