OK we don't pay to watch the owners, but that doesn't mean that they aren't worth looking at in the news. Compromise is a tough for some people to swallow. Wonder what Paul Pierce would say if he were offered part ownership of the Celt's when his illustrious hoops career is over? Would he be barking about how wrong the owners are in taking 49% of the revenue, or would he say that the players are greedy, and it's his money that's being fronted for costs? It's his money that manages the moves, that make it a more suitable playground for his players... Are both sides (Players Union & ownership) greedy? Of course, but who allows them that power? Have you paid $150 for a pair of J's lately? Have you forked over just as much for the latest Bron-Bron or Black Mamba gear? Most players are not shelling out the money for these marketing ideas, or product, they are merely putting their names on it. Some, not all but some owners have already been down that road, so players please know that you have a whole host of young Americans, and fans world wide, that would like to see an end to the nonsense, and a beginning to a season! Or if 51% is not good enough, how about the Al Davis of basketball step forward, and start another league, oh wait, we already went thru the ABA-NBA merge didn't we!? Here's to college hoops, at least their still playing. So who's with me.... I say we go on strike and stop buying anything NBA for at least a year even if they start playing, just to teach them a little somethin' - somethin' bout greed!
