The Sports Fan Coalition, a nonprofit group that has been fighting work stoppages in sports, filed a brief Friday in the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals stating that ending the lockout is in the best interest of consumers.
"Whether the owners' boycott lowers the quality of the 2011 season by preventing fans' favorite clubs from integrating new talent during this summer, or disrupts or even eliminates the season if the boycott fails to achieve the desired concessions from players, injunctive relief is essential to sports fans," the group's attorneys wrote.
Sports Fans Coalition supports the players, and notes that fans spend billions of dollars to see NFL teams in action.
