I for one am so sick and tired of paying outrageous sums of money to sit in person at sporting events. The whole thing makes me sick. Big babies crying poor while they make $100,000/yr or more. Owners of teams who get greedy and charge more each year for the privelage of sitting in their new-cause as God knows we certainly can't watch hockey in a 20 plus year old stadium (P.S. dont tell that to the Canadian fans or NY fans who's old stadiums seem to be just fine)-as well as because they simply want to make another mil or two.
I have had it with all mens pro sports. I gave up on Basketball and now watch ONLY WNBA games or mens (and womens) collegiate ball. I do not care whether it is hockey, baseball, basketball or what ever. I have had it with the attitude that the fans will just fork over more money. These players need to grow up and realize that the people paying their salaries are only making $$$$$ a year (for the most part) and not millions.
