The NBA announced today that it has canceled all games through November 30 because a new collective bargaining agreement has not been reached with the National Basketball Players Association.

 

"We share the frustrations of our fans, partners, and those who rely on our game for their livelihoods,” NBA Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver said. “We remain committed to reaching an agreement that's fair for both the teams and the players and allows for the long-term growth of our game.”

The best part of this whole thing is that the approximate amount that they are arguing over during a 5 year CBA is $433M.

 

The amount of money being lost with 4 weeks of cancelled games is roughly $325M.

Just disgraceful. Both sides letting their pride get in the way of compromise. And all they are doing is screwing the little people. The fans, the arena workers and game day employees, etc.
