Jaded-Fan said:Ann Arbor? Isn't that near Detroit? As I said, look who is against this. Sort of belies the argument that the big markets will be gutted with the new CBA and so they need an equal shot at a top pick doesn't it? I do not see the fans of the sad sack teams from 2003-4 complaining about this idea do you?
What's your point? Or are you just trying to show how smart you are by asking if Detroit is near Ann Arbor?
I really don't see how this is a big market/little market deal.
It's a workers rights issue to me.
If you're a legal adult with all the skills needed to do the job, then why shouldn't you have the right to work?
I grew up in Windsor, Ontario. My dad, my uncle, and my sister all work for the Big 3. My dad spent 12 years as a union steward and another 6 years as a union health and safety instructor.
I tend to view things more as worker/owner than I do big market/small market. Because, I actually do sympathize with those small market fans that actually support hockey far more than I sympathize with millionaire players or billionaire owners.
