Life After the NFL... Should we be worried?

If we were to assume there was no football this year, which is seemingly more possible with every passing day. It's Interesting to think, what will happen on a Sunday Afternoon or a Monday Night after work with all these millions of NFL Viewers?

There could be some serious social impacts to such a large scale retraction of a service industry. With all that extra time, could societal productivity boom? Maybe people won't hate Mondays so much, because they'll have adequate sleep on Sunday night. Maybe Tuesdays & Wednesday will be the most productive days of the week because there would be no big drinking socials on Monday nights. And NO SUPERBOWL?! Where will Advertising Agencies spend their millions of dollars... perhaps... on creating new Jobs? Maybe kids will play outside more because there is less to watch on ESPN.

Or maybe its the latter, that society will be depressed. People will have less to look forward to, less to spend money on. Maybe the economy will spiral downward even further and a Monday Night in any Football City, U.S. might look like the picture above. Maybe Soccer will become the most popular sport in 2011...

If that sends a tingle up your spine, just know this. Every day that passes without a solution to the lockout... is one day closer to the loss of the NFL in 2011. And don't forget about the next most popular sport right now, Basketball. The NBA and its Players Association, are on the brink (July 1st) of an identical obstacle...

What could life be like without the NFL or NBA... O M G
