If the NFL/NBA Lockout....


Recommended Posts

what'll you do for your sports fix?

 

EDIT: I have to be honest, I know nothing about the NFL's situation, I just saw on a sports program this morning that there is a serious possibility of an NFL lockout next year, I could be totally off base here.

Yeah NFL has the best chance of a lock out, and although it's hard to believe that a company to pulls in over 6 billion dollars a year would take a year off. neither side isn't really showing any sides of cracking. NBA def has a problem too. I'd be mad without NFL and NBA my winters would definitely be empty, I'd probably start following a hockey team and watch some more television programs.

I do think there's going to be a lockout... Stern wants salaries cut of 30% which is an insane amount. This is no $50-100 million which could be otherwise be resolved quickly. $800 million difference between 2 sides? We will see a lock out.

Couldn't the players just desire to make more money? Problem solved

except the owners are the ones with all the leverage and both sides are just being unnecessarily greedy.

 

bourgeoise vs proletariat!?

 

"ALL"? No, if the owners had ALL the leverage, there would be no talk of lockout...

 

Employers need employees too. They can't just "fire" these NBA players and say, "since you don't like our proposed salaries, we will find talents elsewhere".

 

 

These NBA players are their ONLY employees. That's the employees' leverage: they know they can't be replaced.
