We as fans and stakeholders of the NFL;  petition that the National Football League end the Lockout with its officials for the sake of all involved as soon as possible. The credibility of the league is being challenged and the overall safety of the players is in question as well as the quality of product that the consumer is paying for has diminished. Please listen to the people who pay for the product; we pay for the professional players but also want the professional officials that the players deserve to have on the field with them.
