The players of the National Football League released an exclusive video Monday thanking fans for their support and patience during the lockout.
The video features 13 players from around the league delivering personal messages to fans.
“I just want say to all the fans, thank you so much for all of your support and patience during this process,” Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten said. “We’re excited for this season to start and to have a great year.”
“We want to tell you we thank you for being supportive of us through this process,” Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth said. “We were trying to make the game better for those guys that played it in the past, in the present and in the future. We appreciate your support. We look forward to a great football season. We got this thing done, now let’s play some ball.”

It’s great to see the appreciation for the fans from the players. The sad part is, they really got very little out of the lockout. I want to see a fan appreciation video from the owners. They make ridiculous cash, and they don’t risk life and limb to do it. If the NFL players that cannot just be replaced by walkins don’t have bargaining power, what does that mean for the average worker?
