The Iconoclast said:Uh huh. Now you're starting to get it. The players are not going to play for free, especially those big name players that have said so many stupid things in the media. When you have players making millions of dollars you need lots of fans. How many fans are going to run right out and support a new league that is charging $100 a pop for a ticket? This is what you're going to see for prices. The amount of money required to cover the salaries, insurance and building costs alone are going to be outrageous. Its not an option. Not at all. Its logistically not feasible.
So they are threatening to go the distance against the NHL but if they want to start something in the mean time, on a break even or better basis; then you feel they have to go big and duplicate the present "oversized" NHL complete with bells and whistles and at the same time draw full major league salaries from it? (because that certainly wasn't my proposal)
