I have seen it suggested that there was no desire to save the season at all. The scuttlebut is that the league is trying to get rid of some franchises. when some of these moneylosing franchises drop out a newly reorganised league will appear.

This is the last thing bettmen would want, if the leagues that he brought in have to fold it will just show that is doesnt know what he is doing, he just wants to break the union. Him and goodenow have such enlarged egos that know one wants to give.

Are you talking about the players union?

If ever there was a union in need of breaking, this is the one.

I think that players are over paid, owners make too much and fans pay waaaay too much to see a game.

When they get their crap worked out it would be nice to see fans go on strike untill ticket prices go way down.

Maybe scrap the whole league and start another one with a sallary cap in place from the get go. If it's not enough money for these spoiled brats, they can go and try and make it in the real world. After all, I'm sure that all have some highly marketable skills othere than a game that they enjoy. Don't they?

It looks like they have gone a long way to make sure that happens, especially in some US markets.

I am reminded of that Seinfeld episode where Kramer's Pizza making union finally settled. When he tried to go back to work nobody had heard of him.
