The Media has Officially Picked a Side

[Jangler]

Pft hardly counts as the media

NBC, right?

[The Saltman]

good point jangler

this is not surprising, everyone with any semblance of reason and intelligence is on the side of the players. they're not the ones who opted out of the CBA and are threatening no football.

ignorance is bliss

THe media is siding with the players because the player's union is playing out the negotiations in the media while the owners are doing most of their work in private. So obviously fans and people are hearing more about the player's side. In the end what the media and fans think won't change the negotiations.

The media siding with the players cause they watch and report on the players playing the game

No Tom Brady? Dont think so

[Gazi]

Team Players HERE.

[Jangler]

Need Fox and CBS to speak out since they have the majority of the games.

[Delhommey]

Why wouldn't I side with a cabal of old men using the full weight of their government endorsed monopoly (whose infrastructure is generously subsidized by public tax dollars) to try and starve a group of workers into having to accept a highly unfavorable deal?

[Matt Moore]

pretty easy to spot the corporate loyalists in this place

the media is on the fans side they just want to have football next year

[g5jamz]

Just think how sucky sports talk is going to be if they have to talk for an entire year about Carmelo being traded or waiting out contract.

Just as long as the Cubs sign Albert Pujols, I'll be happy.
