commentary...

for the first time,i will respond to my own father about what is wrong with sports,today... in football,there has been two lockouts(players,and referees),in last two years,and in hockey there have strikes,and lockouts,since the early 1990's,including a lockout that scrapped an entire season,in 2004-2005.... i am not including the scrapping of the 1994 World Series,by Major League Baseball,which included Donald Fehr,then head of MLBPA,and now head of the NHLPA... he actually gave the same speech,in 1994,as he did in 2012,in explaining the NHLPA's part of the lockout... basically,the fans do not matter,at all,because if they did,the fans would be watching baseball,football,and in the recent case,hockey,instead of being frustrated,and angry... the owners do not care,and plead financial hardship,and the players plead financial hardship,and want more money...... there are some clubs that are small market,and do not make as much money,as others,in all three sports,but with rising costs(greedy players,and owners),and rising ticket costs for the fans,the fans lose more than paying outrageous ticket prices,because their love for the beautiful game that they root for ebbs away... simply said,what a real waste of talent,time,and all for the almighty dollar!!!!!!! makes me want to vomit...
