NBA Players Say No

The NBA players have a major problem on their hands.  Monday they rejected the latest proposal from the NBA owners.  That rejection I think pretty much seals that there will be no NBA basketball at least until Christmas.  Their biggest problem is who cares.  The NFL season is just hitting the halfway point and all of America's sports junkies are focused on that. No one even notices that NBA games are being missed now.

The NBA is going through the same routine that the NFL did but there is one major difference between them and the NFL.  Both sides realized if we don't agree now we both lose. So not one bit of the NFL has been missed.  I don't hear anybody complaining about no NBA.  If you can believe the owners prospective is most owners are losing money the way the setup was and not playing now they may not be losing as much as they were.

When I was growing up and my mother or father got to the point when they said come here this minute you had better go now.  The owners have told the players this is the best you are going to get take it or leave it.  They chose to leave it and with it just maybe the NBA as they the NBA players  know it. 

If a whole season is lost who will be the big losers?  The players of course.  There comes a time when stupidity  has to stop and crawl on your knees and take what they will give you.  The NBA players have been arrogant talking they will start their own league.  Where will they play? Rocky Mount gym is available any nights but Tuiesdays and Fridays. 

This country has been through some very hard times in the past couple of years.  When ever they do play again whether it is next year or March they had better thank their blessings that they got millions during the good times because  I suspect the 15 million a year days are over.

Regardless of when ever they come back you can count on me not going to any game any time soon..
