Latest on the 2011 Lockout

[Fiz]

Way to leave the NHL out of this to fit your argument.

it does.

in 2008, the average salary was 1.7 million. I didn't include it because I don't give a poo about it.

You could at least have taken the 10 second google search to keep yourself from looking like a horse's ass, however.

Players dont want it to go to arbitration and that is one of the reasons to decertify. Also they cant sue as a group but individual players can if they dont have a Union.

Professional Lacrosse players only make between 10-30k a year and the average WNBA salary is 55k, with league MVP's averaging 85k.

Well if we're going to compare the most lucrative sports league in human history to two things that shouldn't even exist, NFL players should be grateful they make more than those dudes in new zealand racing sheep.

But I wouldnt have any other reason to be here.

They should be grateful that they play a fuking game and enjoy what they do for a living and get payed more than 99.99999% of humans on this earth.

the players would love for this to go to arbitration because if the NFL wanted any chance to win it they'd have to open their books and lol they'll never do that because they'll lose any standing they might have no.

Dude... They seriously work hard for that money. There is no sarcasm involved. Their lives are dedicated to being like that. It isn't like being a teacher, where you go to school for four years, come out, and get a job at the local elementary school. These guys are prepped from birth.

And besides, they are entertainers in a country that just happens to pay their entertainers a poo ton of money, because they do it better than everyone else.

Remember, this thread isn't about the morality of what they get paid. That argument just muddies the water.

This thread is about me embarrassing people that try to side with management.

It's been said before in this thread, and I'm going to say it again...

Being without football for a season would suck balls.

[Delhommey]

For a select few franchises. But as a whole the MLB is no where near as profitable.

Even the Pirates and Rays make tons as seen in previous link.

there are honestly people who believe the UFL will be a proper alternative.

I really wish I was that stupid.

That's just willful ignorance.

For those people: Why don't you call and ask Vince McMahon if it's a proper alternative.

[Jangler]

I do not want a lockout, but if we do, I hope the owners bring in scabs! I want to see you people wearing my jersey!

as Fiz pointed out it's not a player strike, why would the owners put a team on the field?

The owners broke the union up before over loop holes, why do you think things would be different now if they willing to not renew the old deal. You just mad cause i'm taller than Smitty (5 foot 8) and faster, and will be a scab! My dreams are coming true, as bad as I hate it.
