The lockout is being caused because the NFL owners are making (in some cases) hundreds of times more than the athletes. Then, they say that they are going to extend the season from 16 to 18 games so that the owners can make even more money. Most athletes aren't asking for more money, they're asking for better retirement healthcare (for the many concussions and broken knees) and not to play 2 extra games and have an even greater risk for injuries. I have to side with the players on this one (the one's not asking for more money).
