Guest 10secondMouse Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Fuck professional athletes! They make millions of dollars and want more! From NBA to Nascar it is getting out of control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
controler Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 I could be wrong here, but I was under the impression that it was the owners that were the greedy ones not so much as the players. But I am all for lower ticket prices so the masses can enjoy the games, no matter what sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1QWKEVO Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 from what i understand the players dont want a Salary Cap, pretty much meaning they want more money! even if they dont make as much as NBA or NFL or MLB players make, they still make a shit ton more than i do workin part time at Abercrombie!! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cNeutron Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 The NHL is in some serious trouble. The teams lost a combined 280 million or close to that. The players dont want less money to make it work and the owners cant pay them the high salaries. I hate the lockout and i wish it would jsut end. Greed is owning everyone right now.

Maro Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 I will, you douchebag. graemlins/slap.gif The players need to get a grip on realistic salaries and accept a cap. That goes for ALL professional atheletes. There is NO reason that professional atheletes should make as much as they do. We are all to blame for letting this crap get so out of control.

Mallard Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Exactly. It will be impossible for a team to compete for fans without a salary cap. In order to bring fans in for a large number of games per season the team needs to be competitive and to do that they need to buy players. Kind of like what the Mets, Yankees, and Red Sox are doing. If there is no salery cap there will be two or three teams with outrageous saleries while the rest of the league suffers to bring in fans. It needs to happen for the teams to stay afloat. They players need to accept it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
