Petition on NFL-NFLPA Collective Bargaining Agreement for the Fans

Normally at this time of the year, NFL fans are entering the slow part of the offseason. The draft is over, and OTA's have either started or will be starting for all 32 teams. Free agency has already determined how much better or worse your favorite team should be over last season.

But, instead, we are all stuck to wonder if there is even going to be an NFL season in 2011. The owners and players have decided that instead of getting together to work out a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, they are going to allow the courts to decide how this is going to play out.

Us fans, the REAL reason that there even is an NFL, are stuck to wonder what is going to happen next.

After the latest rounds of court fighting, we are no closer to having a new CBA in place for the 2011 season than we were when the NFL/NFLPA got together in the first place to work out a new agreement. Actually, we are probably further now than we were then.

I have decided that the only way that we, the fans, can get our voices heard is through a petition that I created.

In this petition, I have stated that the people that sign it, are giving the NFL/NFLPA until the close of business on Friday, July 15th, 2011, to come to an agreement and start playing football again, or that the fans of the NFL will cancel the 2011 season on our own.

I am asking all of my friends here on Bleacher Report to not only sign the petition, but to post it on your Facebook/MySpace/Twitter/and any other media outlet you can think of, in order to get one million signatures on the petition.

I would also like to have everyone that has the time, to go to as many message boards and copy either a link to this article here, or to the petition itself.

I am confident that if we all get together behind this, that the NFL/NFLPA will have no option but to sit down and work out a new deal. It may be the only way to save the 2011 NFL season.

Please click THIS LINK, and it will take you to the petition. Every name counts.

Thank you all for your time.
