I am going to lock the NHL out

That's right folks I'm locking the NHL out. I don't get paid a small portion of what those dick head owners and players make, yet i can't negotiate, or walk off the job or i wouldn't have a job.

Now I'm going to be completely honest I don't give a shit about the logistics of why they can't get a deal done. All i know is the greedy pricks are taking away the one game Canadians can call there own. And finally they actually had an American market for the game which with this lockout will be gone again. Again i emphasize i really don't care about the logistics, all i know is that they haven't spent nearly enough time negotiating, and they obviously don't have the right people doing the negotiating. Even if we got a one year deal together so we don't miss a season and then negotiate throughout. Common sense would say you can't divide profit if you don't have any so we should probably have a season.

Players are getting paid millions of dollars to play a game. For that i say sign the deal and go back to your off season homes and have a beer. Fuck if your so heartbroken about losing some money on top of the 3 million your making i will buy you a beer, save you the extra $6 i know your struggling for.

I find it enraging and ridiculous how greedy people have become in professional sports. I feel that athletes and owners should realize yes they play the game but who spends the money on tickets, merchandise, food/drinks at arenas. Who buys a special TV package so they can watch as many games as they want. THE FANS DO. Which is why I'm taking my stand and locking out the NHL.

Again i emphasize how many shits i don't give about the logistics of this deal. The reality is pretty much everyone involved are millionaires. And they are fighting over more money. Or money sharing. I'm sorry i didn't realize that money meant so much to you. Maybe instead of 3 Mercedes convertibles you should buy a hybrid. Now you save on gas and your car cost you less. Your welcome i just saved you money. Here's another option, maybe don't buy the 1.5 million dollar house, maybe settle for 700 000. I understand it's a business but again i emphasize the point that what is business without a consumer. How many times are you going to lockout the players and bank on still having the same fan base. If this lockout happens which it will you are going to piss off a an already unstable American fan base and cause your always loyal Canadian fan base to drink excessively and get angry.

Basically the points I'm trying to convey here are 1) I don't care about the integrate details of why we are going to have half an NHL season. 2) Your product is nothing without a consumer so why do you continuously piss off the consumer, eventually they will stop coming back.

If you agree with anything i have said here i encourage you to also lockout the NHL. Because in the end the rich will get richer and the consumer won't. The players will continue to skate and play overseas, in the AHL or for fun, the owners will continue to marry 23 year old women and spend money like its going out of style, and the the consumer will now have thrown out money for season tickets that he probably won't get all of back.
