Thursday

Too many businesses depend on sports. Right down to bars and restaurants. Stadium vendors. Parking. Merchandise sales. Gate $'s. Teams. and the list goes on an on.

If it only was a weekend. Sat and Sun - to hit college and pro ball - that could do it.

It's not like a government shutdown that many people don't pay attention too.

Sports - touches almost everyone. From Team owners. Players and fans.

I still believe it could really be effective.
