The NBA players are not striking, they are locked out. Very big difference.

Methinks I would forgo a few points on the BRI, if we could guarantee that NBA games would be more affordable for fans, especially families
Lets get LOTS of retweets. Fans rule.

Fans – the money they are arguing about is YOURS.

They will settle this silly strike whenever they do and then it will be time for YOU to pony up for the tickets.

And you will.

The ONLY language the players and the owners understand is MONEY – YOURS.

The only way you can get them to listen to you is with empty seats.

owners will take profilts anytime and anywhere they can get it. fans don’t get a discount. don’t believe the hype.

I would think he is the one player who after 25 years retired will have money left on his account. All others are fighting for money that will be gone 3 days after collecting it

I think they wouldn’t as much as we would like.
