mkreku: read your posta agin. It's there in black and white.
ender: That's the point. It's the owner's fault. Also, you say the players are just playing for moeny? I disagree, and Calgary, Tampa Bay, and all the other 14 play-off teams would disagree with you as all of them universally played for the leagacy of winning the cup.
The real problem isn't the tv revneues. that's a symptom of the owners being too stupid to realize they cna't afford $10 mil contracts. What does a business person (or anyone for that matter) do when they can't afford something. Simple, they don't poay for it. Unfortinately it seems those who own professional sports teams tend to forget that.
As for your college sport thing, it's the players being taken advantage of. They get a dgree that costs what? $50? Menahwile the colleges make millions of dollars. Yeah, talk about fairness. Not to mention, if a player is even hinted at taking 'bribes' to play ata certain colege he is in a heck of a lot of trouble.
If the players walk I blame the owner for not having any self control.
