Abstract

Professional sports leagues across the United States are routinely recognized as profitable businesses. These leagues have enjoyed the luxury of brand recognition and a loyal customer base for decades. Unfortunately, along with all the benefits, professional sports leagues have also inherited the problems of a profitable industry. One such problem is labor strikes, which are commonly referred to as lockouts in the world of professional sports.
