NEW YORK • Labor strife looms in the New Year for the NFL, NBA and NHL. By this time next year, two of the three leagues could be dark.
The National Football League's labor contract expires March 4, followed by the National Basketball Association's on June 30, Major League Baseball's on Dec. 11 and the National Hockey League's on Sept. 15, 2012.
Only baseball, interrupted by eight work stoppages from 1972-95, shows signs of peacefully reaching a new agreement.
NFL players, meanwhile, are bracing for a stoppage, going so far as to post a "Lockout Watch" countdown clock on the home page of the union's website.
CARRY ON
