I cry myself to sleep at night because of you. All of my energy is usually devoted to being a faithful follower of your games...yet you are not there. Leaving me lost and alone. I do not know what to do with my life. What sports am I supposed to follow right now, cricket? No.
Sincerely,
A desperate, depressed, hopeful fan-

The NBA is currently in a lock out and it is driving me crazy. Million and billionaires are sitting in a room arguing over a couple of bucks while thousands of people all across the world are hungry.
Usually at this time in my life, I would be staying up late with my dad, eating way to much cereal, while watching Derrick Rose throw down on Lebron James and Brian Scalabrine sit on the bench. But instead I am forced to watch nothing. Do nothing. Think nothing. I cannot do this anymore.
I hope the irony of it all does not escape anyone...The 99% are camping out, fighting poverty, while many members of the 1% are sitting in a room raking in more money.
I was prepared to give up two years of basketball for my mission, but no one told me I would have to give it up three months before I was supposed to leave....
NBA, where have you gone?
So what do think about the negotiations? Do you think it's the players fault or do you think it's the owners or both? And how long can they honestly keep this up?
ReplyDeleteHate this lockout. I believe the season over because all games are canceled till like mid-December. Not only is this affecting us fans, but many thousands of workers' jobs that are in the games. So while the players and owners argue 5-7% split of the the billions of $$ for the players, some people argue how they are going to find something to eat tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWe are the 99%!The greed of few, steals the joy from the lives of so many. On whose fault it is, I believe that it is not the players nor the owners but both, the greed of is the root cause. I do believe that the owners are going to win, because the players that are in the NBA right now, MOST will be gone in a few years, while a few remain, whereas owners are there til they choose to leave. The players are replaceable, and they will need the money, where owners are few, and are usually really wealthy.
ReplyDeleteSorry guys I have a few followers and no comments, the semester is winding down and I need your help, if you could follow me and post a comment that would be much help.
