Re: NBA Lockout and Collective Barganing Agreement Discussion

Why is everyone bringing up the NFL lockout?

Clearly both sides during the NFL lockout were more competent than these idiots representing the owners and players.

Seriously.

LOL. Uh no they werent. The NFL had no real issues between them and it still took until a week before the preseason before they were able to even get a deal break through. NFL teams arent losing money and there were really no significant changes made to the salary structure in the current deal. It was 5 months of fighting over how revenues would be split.

The NBA's situation is much different and will take much more time. Both sides were stupid for taking this long to start negotiating but lets not act as if the NFL did it the right way.

Berger is one of the more level headed reporters following this lockout.

EXACTLY!

Especially the NFLPA. You could tell that their legal counsel did not do their homework. They decertify and then file an anti-trust lawsuit in the 8th circuit court. A court that's notoriously anti-union.

Yep, we're going to get a lot of these. We're also going to get the gloom and doom reports as well. That's why I'm not going to get excited nor frustrated when I see these things.

I'll give them credit, the people in the negotiations is really working their magic in diverting the public's attention. "Give them a 'little of this and that' BUT don't give them what we're really talking about."

Re: NBA Lockout and Collective Barganing Agreement Discussion

I dont believe anybody, Ill just wait it out

That said 24th I was just posting that Woj snippet piece becuase i didnt see it here and I had just saw it myself...

I do agree with bigeast that this is not the NFL at all, and they were being nonsensical for the media posturing that went on for awhile... all of them acting like spoiled rich babies

Regardless of the issues...I'm talking about representation and being competent.

There's not enough room on the page to show exactly where Hunter is.
