Grab me a tissue why I cry for a bunch of spoiled multimillionaire thugs that get paid obscene amounts of money to play a game. Look at MLB and NHL. They had their strikes and have never recovered from them. I realize football is a much larger colossus but this couldn't be more laughably stupid, especially in the anti capitalist, anti rich, anti successful environment we're in right now spearheaded by our own government. Good. I hope these idiots go on strike, do it large, do it loud, and drag it out for the entire 2011 season. Go ahead and screw yourselves all the way. I can just see the country crying in pity for the poor li'l multimillionaire gangsters while our national unemployment average continues to climb past ten percent and its past 15 percent in a number of states. Go ahead boys. Do it. I'm begging you. Go on strike. Please. Strike all of 2011. Blow the entire season away. I dare you. This is part of why I like college better. I rarely watch pro sports anyways so my comments can be applied to all pro sports and pro athletes. Spoiled brat multimillionare thugs vs. even more spoiled and even richer owners. You couldn't have a less sympathetic situation all the way around for the country to see. I hope they're dumb enough to do it. I'll laugh and I won't miss them at all and I'll look forward to the fallout and "law of unintended consequences" to boot.

To me, to be a conservative means to conserve the good parts of America and to conserve our Constitution. Posts: 5,039 Group: Administrator Member #1 Joined: Aug 26, 2008	Not a strike, a lockout. Which is better. It needs to happen. I'm all for complete capitalism and people getting rich, but a lot of these salaries are ridiculous. They should be capped, especially when teams are losing money. That's just what any business would do, cut cost. The bulk of that cost comes from these bloated, undeserved salaries. Baseball could use another one too.

A Bundy never wins, but a Bundy never quits. Posts: 2,392 Group: Moderators Member #3 Joined: Aug 27, 2008	Baseball recovered...somewhat. Steroids/HGH killed off whatever good grace was left/had returned to the game since then. Hockey never had the following to survive any strike. Football will no doubt take a hit. I think it'll will come out of the end better than baseball did. Aside from Madden, I haven't spent money on anything NFL related in several years and have no plans to, so they can go ahead and strike, I won't miss much.

For me it says I haven't given two craps about it since Jordan, Bird, and Johnson and guys like that left the game. The NBA could crater outright today and I wouldn't bat an eyelash. College basketball is pretty good, though.

Hey man your clock won't flush!!! Posts: 3,260 Group: Moderators Member #4 Joined: Aug 28, 2008	^^^That was the last time I cared. I would say when the Bulls, Suns, Rockets, Jazz, etc were all battling it out. The dunk contest mattered, you had clean rap sheets, the most ridiculous player was Rodman, no players were fighting with fans, and the game was still watchable.
