The NBA Players don't deserve a Union.

1. Don't care. The NBA can disappear, and I'd never notice.

Seeya boys....

[SCantiGOP]

2. it's a fight

between the millionaires and the billionaires, so I guess I side with the (relatively) underdogs.

3. I miss watching the Lakers

Yeah, that's right. Flame me if you must.

It is rich vs rich, But I think the owners suck more. Really don't want to see the players give into their demands.

4. The owners AND players must realize that money is tight these days.

Most people CANNOT afford to pay the assinying amounts charged for tickets.
5 million a year is an amount of money that most will never see. For throwing a ball, 5 million is an absurdly sum.

5. Workers of the world unite. It's really hard to have pity for the owners

I wish the players would all go to Europe this year and the Euro league would start doing commercials with Dirk and Kobe and Durant for a Euro pass to watch the games.
I wonder how quickly David Stern would shit his pants.
There is a huge lesson to equate this with organized labor and the power of unions. This is the kind of thing that could be to democrats and unions what the firing of
air traffic controllers was to republicans and the Oligarchy
