NBA Lockout-Topic of Interest

The league claimed that it was losing $300 million a year (22 out of 30 teams were losing money last season).  Unemployment is over 9% in this country and these clowns, who are already grossly overpaid, want even more money.  They can't settle the deal with the owners because they want 53% of the revenue.  It's time for the working family to stop buying tickets and supporting today’s NBA. In the past, players like Jordan, Magic Johnson, Bird, Barkley and others played for the Championship and for the team, not solely for the money.

Hi
I am not too familiar with NBA, but we have the same problem in France with the Rugby, for example. It's very sad to know how much they gain for one game and ask for more. Few years ago, rugby men wanted to play - it was their goal now it's just about money, publicity,... I don't know if you watched, but the French team lost the final of the world cup (rugby) this Sunday. So Sad.
To conclude my long comment (lol) I would said that I really agree with you: it's just about money even in sport's world
