NFL Lockout: Economic Impact

Updated on: March 4, 2011 / 3:28 PM EST / MoneyWatch

The NFL lockout isn't just about rich owners, players and TV networks. A potential work stoppage could affect local economies and workers across the country significantly. I discussed the economic impact of the lockout with CBS2 this morning. Later in the day, the two sides agreed to a seven-day extension of the collective bargaining agreement. Talks will resume Monday.
