rvrdgsfn Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Oh my god is Batterman seriously trying to get the players to pay sponsors for being locked out?I mean, obviously salaries have to be prorated, but what else could they mean by paying for the damage?My guess is revenue lost like ticket sales, concessions, cost of using the arena, possibly merchandise, they could think of a few things.

Gothamite Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 No, it's obviously the fault of the spoiled and overpaid players. If they didn't insist on getting paid in cash money, the owners wouldn't have to resort to these drastic lockouts. How are teams supposed to give their hardworking, job-creating owners the handsome dividends they've earned when the teat-sucking players whinge and cry about getting paid first?

Gothamite Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Man, I pushed that as far as I could. Still too subtle? Good clue is to look for "job creators".

NJTank Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Well asking the players to pay back the sponsors come on he does not want a season I am convinced. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Well, maybe he just meant their salaries would have to be prorated and that the money saved there would go toward compensating angry sponsors. I don't know. I mean, it's unrealistic to say that after all the blood that's been spilled here, the union would have to cut a check to the NHL. Then again, so was offering to declassify a great deal of hockey-related revenue and cut the players' share of the rest to 43%, but they tried to do that too. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 The problem is Bettman is unflexible and unreasonable and he just does not care enoug about the game to change his porition and this is why there will not be a season again. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's to listen to a-holes like Jeremy Jacobs when they call from their Scrooge McDuck money vaults and say "yeah this needs to be a couple more feet deep" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosrs1 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I still refuse to believe "destroying hockey" is purposely on Gary Bettman's To-Do List.I doubt he's doing it on purpose beyond the fact he's purposely doing what the owners want. So in reality it's the owners that have the goal of destroying the sport to save their wallets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zpqmaowl Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 NEW YORK—A little less than a decade ago, hockey fans were blessed with a slate of games every night, but on Thursday sources confirmed that for the ninth consecutive year NHL players have been locked out, with very slim hopes of an agreement in sight. “It seems like just yesterday Martin St. Louis and his Lightning teammates were raising the Stanley Cup,” high school hockey coach and onetime ESPN analyst Barry Melrose said. “Obviously, I’m still hoping the two sides can come together and reach an agreement, but I’m starting to think nobody really misses hockey anymore. Nope. Nobody but old Barry. I’d still love to catch an Atlanta Thrashers game.” Observers have noted that when arena doors do reopen, the NHL will face the perhaps greater challenge of convincing fans to return to hockey instead of watching more popular sports like football, basketball, baseball, and SlamBall. the worst helmets design to me is the Jacksonville jaguars hamlets from 1995 to 2012 because you can't see the logo vary wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
