The NBA may lock out players making next season in doubt. Now from my perspective this isn't a big deal. I pretty much don't give a rats ass about pro sports except baseball, and that only applies to going to the games. On TV baseball is as exciting as watching paint dry, pitcher/batter is not the game, the real game is in the outfield and can only be seen from the stands.
But I digress. The NBA is embroiled in a labor dispute that is simply put, a bunch of billionaires trying to negotiate with a bunch of millionaires how much to pay them. For all it's street popularity, basketball at the pro level is all about being rich. Season tickets are well beyond the price range of the common man and much of the game is about sky-boxes and sponsorship bucks. Not very interesting to me.
Meanwhile the NFL is doing the same thing. Owners (billionaires) vs Players (millionaires) in a game of brinksmanship. All so the fans can pay big bucks to watch in air-conditioned comfort from new domed stadiums. Doak Walker would spin in his grave!
So will there be a season this fall? Frankly I don't care, I'd much rather watch minor league baseball or college football anyway and that would be on rare occasions when I had absolutely nothing better to do.
