Something that would recognize the sacrafice that fans have made over the last couple year. Even if only nominally.
I think the NFL owner equivalent of this has been not raising ticket prices except for club level. Reality is, though, that they will be forced to lower prices by market forces soon enough. They won't be doing it as a PR stunt.

The NFL quit giving a shit about Joe Sixpack a long long time ago~

They can choose to not give a shit, but Joe Sixpack actually spends a lot of money going to games. Good luck filling the stadium with nothing but millionaires.

oh hai taxpayers, we need a new stadium that you won't be able to get into or else we'll leave

Almost all of my clothes are either CHIEFS or ROYALS. There is revenue there too. Lots of it.

Outside of giving the season ticket holders on less preseason ticket they have to eat up, and a redzone channel we get to pay for there really isn't much in there for the fans.

The records are already skewed. This was said when the NFL went from 12 to 14 and again from 14 to 16. A 1000 yard season was a great benchmark for a back or wideout at one time, now it is very average~

Ya just hate them always changing shit. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Certainly possible, which is why taking the PR value now is possibly very savvy. Obviously they have to make the numbers work for them, and 5% of ticket sales is a big chunk. But The advertising bump from 2 more meaningful games would presumably more than offset the losses. Maybe not though.

If the owners would stand their ground, the players would be forced to back down. Without the NFL, these owners are still worth hundreds of millions. Without the NFL, the players are hoping to get a job driving a bus.

We need millionaires to pay for Obamacare and football tickets.

Sure, we invented personal seat licenses, but trust us.

Goodell is absolutely right about one thing: it's ridiculous that rookies get guaranteed contracts that set new records every year for the highest paid players in the league.

I'd be all for a rookie salary cap. It doesn't have to be ridiculously low, but right now the salaries for the first round draft choices are ridiculously high. Give that money to the veteran NFL players who are living in poverty instead.
