. >> the nfl's referee lockout reached its tipping point last night with one of the most controversialame endings in league history. the green bay packers lost the game, but the biggest loser might be the nfl brand. however, one group of stakeholders that has remained quiet in the replacement ref debate is the sponsors. the real issue for fans, and the reason sponsors haven't weighed in on the controversy, is that the nfl is an inelastic product. neither the league nor sponsors have lost money since the regular refs were locked out. in fact, nearly 60 million viewers watched sunday's games, despite replacements calling the rules. nfl sponsors, including anheuser-busch, pepsi, and verizon, pay tens of millions of dollars annually for the rights to associate with the nfl shield. until they start to see negative returns on their investments for their shareholders, sponsors will continue to keep quiet. i'm rick horrow. >> tom: that's "nightly business report" for tuesday, september 25. good night, everyone. i'll see you online at nbr.com, and back here tomorrow night. captioning sponsored

we're talking about the lockout and the nfl referees. k, what does it do to american perception of labor, so many of them, the ones that get the coverage, we'll have an nhl lockout, there was an nfl lockout last year. >> i think there's this underlying sense that no matter how much americans love football, it's an endangered commodity. it's a brutal sport. when i was a kid i remember watching the detroit lions game and seeing a player get hit on the field. every time i watch a kickoff, i'm dreading it. i'm holding my breath. there's that. then you also have the fact that sports are this amazing way to meet people. you can go to any place and make enemies, fenemies or friends. >> across partisan divides. that is the amazing thing about sports. that was the amazing thing about the unanimity on the refs. the thing you were saying about the dangers of football. we'll talk about this and do our own discussion on it after the election about traumatic brain injury, but because football is so dangerous, i mean, it's a very unsafe workplace, the n

the lockout is becoming a political football for real. president obama tweeting that nflans on both sides of the aisle hope the refs' longout is settled -- lockout is settled soon. republican governor of scott walker, as you mentioned -- of course, that's the home to the green bay packers that was on the receiving end, no pun intended, of that bad call sunday night against the seahawks -- said, quote: after catching a few hours of sleep, the packers' game is still just as painful.

it ended the nfl lockout for the officials. the substitute referees being loudly criticized by fans, including president obama for blown calls, including one outcome by monday night's game. nfl commissioner roger giselle apologizing to the fans. >> the labor management disputes and negotiations are difficult. what is most difficult about it is you have the two parties, but you have a lot of parties outside of the room. they get impacted by a comment including our fans. we are sorry to bring the general public and friends through that. ashley: by the way from the national hockey league canceling its entire preseason schedule due to failed contract talks with the players. also, american airlines firing back at the pilots. despite a canceled and delayed flights this month. the union says, no, there is no organized slowdown. this stems from american airlines, which is under bankruptcy protection, canceling union contracts is usual. meanwhile, the 47% who don't pay federal income tax, a new study by the tax foundation takes a look at

the nfl referee lockout is over. it is the longest deal they've had with the referees so we won't have to go through this any time soon. what we saw was calamitous as far as the game management and the nfl. it came to a head monday night and this game which was an interception which should have been ruled as such was called a touchdown and that set off a furor nationwide. roger bell took a lot of heat in regards to what has been going on. he's feeling much better. >> what is most difficult about it is you have the two parties but you have a lot of parties outside the room that get impacted by it, starting with our fans and we are sorry to bring our fans to that and the general public to that. that is the unfortunate part of labor-management disputes. >> just a few days ago, we heard -- i cannot repeat what was enchanting, but they want are pointing to they have to get this thing done and they did. let's go outside the stadium for more. >> fans are so excited to have the regular referee's back. we are here with a crow

millions of football fans will once again be able to boo the real referees. >> that's right. >> the nfl lockoutd national outrage on monday night shoved a little fire under the league, because the nfl and its referees signed off on a new eight-year collective bargaining agreement. this happened in the wee hours of the morning. >> that's right. eight years, that is unprecedented. it means no more replacement refs. the real refs will be on the field tonight. roger goodell confirming the regular officials will be back on the field when the baltimola ravens host the cleveland browns. jason carroll joins us. and it's pretty clear they had to move quickly after that awful call. these replacement refs really didn't have integrity, did they? >> they were doing the best job they could, but you had a lot of these replacement players and they had no experience with professional ball. some of them being pulled out of high school. there was an argument that they were doing the best that they could. obviously not good enough. what we saw was a lot of disrespect on the field. look at what happened with bill b

it's time to focus on the deeper meaning underlying the nfl lockout initiated by the owners.is the equivalent for all that is wrong in the economy, extraordinarily wealthy owners are squeezing the working guys the locked out refs who not only get weekly abuse from fans but paychecks thahat barely register in comparison to the owners and players. those at the top do better and better while those in the middle see what had been seen as basic aspects of a paycheck a pension and health care disappear at the bargaining table. this could be viewed as a private dispute that should be resolved and which some sound judgment and reason could get across -- pardon the phrase -- the goal line, but there is another dimension to this. a significant piece of the wealth that the nfl owners garner is the result of the enormous tv profits they get. and the anti-trust laws have been made to sports leagues, especially the nfl. the nfl has used its political muscle the wealth of its owners, to acquire an edge on the economic playing field via congress. the owners have made more money, eliminated c

nfl regular referees could be back on the field as early as this weekend. great news there. several reports that the two sides are close to a deal that would lift the lockoutnd bench those replacement referees. the nfl has not confirm those reports. resolving the impasse took on a heightened sense of urgency after a controversial call decided monday night's game between seattle and green bay. finally hopefully getting them back to work. a down day on wall street, riots in spain and greece over austerity measures is partially responsible for that. a live look at the big board. the nasdaq is down and so is the doubt. down 35 points at this hour. >> an extreme skier raised in light tahoe is among the survivors of the deadly avalanche in the himalayas. he says that he is thankful to be alive. on sunday he was among two dozen climbers on a mountain in nepal where the avalanche struck. he was in his 10's and was hurled 1,000 ft. down the mountain. he punched his way out of his 10th barefoot and injured, he tried to find other survivors. >> you are doing everything you can because your friends lives depend on your actions. and unfortunately everything that i did
