The PR storm the NBA and NFL are about to face!

 After both a successful NFL season with record ratings, and an amazing NBA playoffs that also saw ratings increase both sports are about to experience lockouts that could destroy alot of good will that both of these sports have built up over the years. While most of us dont know the full details of why there is a work stoppage the image that both leagues are broadcasting is a bad one to the public. Most people look at as Billionaires vs Millionaires and in the end the rich will still get richer.

If there is a prolonged work stoppage this could be trouble for both leagues. Both should take a look how MLB strike 94-95 is still effecting the league. Fans were reluctant to come back and not trusting of both the owners and the players. Its still battling trying to get attendance numbers back to what they once were.

The NFL is already starting to struggle with image issues with players tweeting about being compared to slaves, and former players complaining about the lack of health care after retirement. The NBA took its first  hit when superstar Lebron James let out a soundbite that made it seem he thinks he better then the general public.

Hopefully both leagues will be able to put labor issues aside and get back playing so we can forget about the things they say and focus on the great things on the court they are able to do.
