In reality they are not all they would be doing is changing the dates of a few games at the beginning of the season very much like a rain date or postponed game. If anyone has this arguement it should be the Vikings after their roof fell in or the Saints fans after Katrina and the team played elsewhere for the first few games.
I like this idea....

“The owners and players can’t decide what to do with an extra billion dollars between them,” Lanci said. “I have the perfect solution. That one billion should go to all cities that gave them money to build football stadiums they couldn’t afford to build. This would give these cities badly needed tax relief.”

but the problem is there are 3 types of stadiums:
1- Owners who own their stadium paid for or is still paying through loans.
2- City owned stadiums paid through public taxes.
3- A combination of the two.
So if the league throws the 1 bill at the city owned stadiums to lower the taxes then the teams who are currently collecting money under the revenue sharing to help pay their part of the loans and can't with out the sharing will get screwed.
The sharing covers two items... teams that don't make as much as the lucrative teams in order to compete for FA's, and money used to help owners who can't pay their loans or rent.
