mediation
Commissioner Goodell is a big part of negotiations between the NFL and the players' union. There have been some problems between the two sides lately that could lead to a work stoppage in pro football! The biggest problem between them is how to split up the billions of dollars in profit that the NFL makes every year. The deadline for a new deal was last week. Both sides agreed to extend that deadline, and they're both optimistic. We've extended our agreement for mediation for another seven days. We are continuing to work hard trying to identify solutions. We believe that, as I've said many times before, this will be solved through negotiations, and that's what we're focused on. There's a commitment from both sides to engage in another round of negotiations at the request of the mediation service. We look forward to a deal coming out of that.
