    Exactly same thing Im sayin

    Im sick of hearing about unions and cba's and etc

    They robbin the fans

    Get a mediator or judge look at either sides best proposal and let them dictate who gets what

    Whether the union or owners like it or not since they couldnt come to an agreement

    Cuz everything I read and hear is sayin this could get ugly

    Super ugly

    worst than the last lockout ,Now people who watch and support this game have to suffer

    Thats why fans should boycott them for doin this ? when u had ample time to get somethin done



    all i know is if i have to miss one game of the nba or nfl i might not ever watch the nba or nfl again. I'll just stick to college sports

    Millioinaires vs Billionaires, who cares… In the end they’re banking in the general public’s forgiveness and stupidity to comeback to arenas and get charged an additional 10-30% more for these new CBA’s.

    When you see cats like Desean Jackson Twittering his $25K bar tab, it’s a slap in the face to all of his ‘regular’ followers and fans that are busting their ? to put kids thru school, pay rent, food etc. I never begrudge anyone for having dough and spending it on whatever they want, however when you’re flaunting your ? on twitter, just don’t expect me to feel bad for you when that cash runs out

    I keep telling people this lockout won't last long cuz the owners are too ? greedy to miss out on money for the upcoming season. Lockout will be lifted before mid Sept watch.

    C/S, they are just being greedy.
    U got people like us out here working 9 to 5 making $10-$15 an hour and with the economy the way it is and the taxes the way it is, u are barely making it.
    U have foreclosure, high gas prices and the cost of living being high and pay is low but, they making all this money and still wanting more and not really doing anything with it.
    I can see if they was going on strike to get health benefits for the players after they retire or if they get seriously injured but, they are looking for more money.

    I will not be spending any money on live games for the NFL or NBA. I will not buy the NFL Sunday Ticket or NBA Pass. F*ck them all. But I do side with the players, these owners are so damn greedy especially in Football where players are risking life and limb. NBA like Baseball have guarantee contracts so the Owners are upset that the players will make bank no matter what. The NFL owners are just foul. Overall I see Football starting late, it's already July, training camp is suppose to start in 3 weeks, even if they get a deal done this week they are so behind. NBA has time to work it out cause the season just ended but I hope fans wake up and see how you've been getting hustled and played by sports in general. People let that ish run their lives. The players and owners don't give a damn about you, they only care about the money. You work hard as hell for every dollar you have. Don't give it to them, keep it for yourself. Like I said, I will only watch if it's on regular TV for free, no more paying for games. They will not get my money. But it's going to be wack having no football in the fall if this continues to drag on. I don't really care for basketball until after January anyway so it's not much of a loss to me.

    question: isn't it dumb for players like nene and shannon to opt out of contracts when there is no certainty of what typr of contracts and money players will recieve after the lockout? or is there sense in their actions?

    I know this ? frustrating

    But if the nets resign D will and get Dwight howard which are both strong possibilitys

    You KNOW you gonna watch

    But I feel you this ? is blowin me

    Today would of been the 1st day of free agency and teams could of started makin trades

    it would be hard not to watch but i use watch hockey all the time but then they locked out now i barely watch it. I just sick of these players thinking they're entitled to more. Of course the owners dont want to give the players more money the players arent putting up their own money to run the team

    Well in the NFL case I dont understand why the NFl had a lockout in the 1st place every team in the league made a profit every team. These owners are arguing over 10 billion dollas and how they wil split it up. The NBa is different they're a couple of teams that are having financial problem like some of them small market teams like Sacramento and so forth. But they need 2 get that ? 2gether I cant take Baseball no more

    ? is depressing because its supposed to be Free agency and we were supposed to make our run at Samuel Dalembert smh. But damn I havent watched ESPN for more than 5 mins in like 2 weeks. But I think for the NBA a deal could be reached before December.Everybody is going to lose even more money by not having games.

    fellas,


    yall do realize that females are "licking their chops" at the prospect of them knowing deep down THEY WILL HAVE SUNDAY TO-DO LISTS FOR US SINCE FOOTBALL SUNDAYS IS OUR "WEEKEND PASS".


    *cringes at the thought* that this ? may drag on and just totally X out the NFL season period


    at least the semi-saving grace is that there's always NCAA Football especially if the PAC-12 successfully lobbies for college games to be played on Sundays


    in the meantime however



    fucccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!


    had to vent
