First NFL... now NBA Lockout??
Why have the lockouts in the first place? I believe the whole look situation is very overrated and do not think that it is a very good idea at all. The whole thing is in place to make rich people richer. For the simple fact the National Football League and National Basketball Association, both of their broadcasting contracts are all coming to an end. Which they are trying to hold out to see how much they will be able to get from the different stations that will be trying to takeover broadcasting for both of them. Which they have even said that Comcast is looking to being a high bidder in all this. But for the simple fact that they are both in a lock out and are holding money away from player and even stop them from practicing I believe this is all ridiculous. Which the fans are even worried if they are even going to have a season this year so they could watch their team. I'm wondering how this is really coming to effect the economy and television productions with all this going on.

Once again, its millionaire vs billionaires...I'm wondering myself how much money is going to be lost from what they are doing now from fans not buying merchandise, season tickets, etc. I do not recall the exact percentage, but I remember mentioning it in a paper that the sports world is a significant part of the economy. It'll be interesting to see how both lockouts play out.
