Remember the lockout of 2011?
Lots of football fans automatically took the owners side just because the players were represented by on of those evil things called a "union".
It was literally a shock to my senses to see so many people who had been complaining about owners for so long suddenly turn and support them over silly politics. The owners had been putting the screws to the fans every way imaginable for yeras (black out local games, ridiculous price of NFL licensed merchandise, claiming ownership of the stats used by fantasy league players, ridiculous price of concessions and parking, blackmailing fans into paying for stadiums, etc etc), but suddenly the players were the greedy ones and the owners were the beloved "job creators".
