Ongoing CBA discussions

[saden1]

Oh for fck sake, the players need the owners as much as the owners need the players. Not every fan will watch replacement players...including me. And you can forget about the casual fan altogether. My fcking Sundays are precious and there is no room for watching mediocre players try to play at a high level. I would rather watch the NBA or garden instead!

Let's not forget the fact that owners are competing with one another and can't collectively lockout players because that would be an anti-trust issue. That means if one owner signs a quality player that's locked out they will all follow suite unless they don't care about winning. You best believe each and every owner will pursue any means necessary to insure that their team is superior to every other team because that is the only way to rake in the dough.


There is no money in scabs on the field....period! Player unions are a natural part of the sports business...period!
