Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak is one of several mayors from around the country who've contacted the NFL to express concerns about their city's economy should the league fail to play all its games this season because of labor problems.

The Washington Post says a report shows the NFL's regular season supports 115,000 jobs across the country, and each NFL city would lose about $160 million in economic activity if the season is lost.

Mayors from Miami, Minneapolis, Kansas City and elected officials in San Diego have contacted the league about the losses they would incur from an extended lockout, says the story. A letter from Houston Mayor Annise Parker said “any decline in these revenues would hurt working families and the city as a whole, further compounding the difficulties we are facing due to the ongoing economic downturn.”
