Commissioner Roger Goodell said labor uncertainty is affecting National Football League revenue as the U.S.’s most-watched television sport negotiates a collective bargaining agreement with its players.
“The impact of not having a labor agreement is already starting,” Goodell said today in an interview with Bloomberg Television. “It will continue to grow. It will continue to have a greater and greater impact and my point is that there will be lost revenue opportunities. And when revenue is reduced, it’s even harder to reach an agreement.”
