The Iconoclast said:No, no, no, no no! You just don't understand the players. They believe they are the product, until you want to start talking about its' lagging popularity and its inability to sell. Then the product becomes the league and all the problems are the league's fault. This is why I am so pro-owner.
Isn't the inability to sell on the onus of the execs and people at the league office to handle. Players can go out and market themselves just fine if they ever got any exposure, but that can't happen with ****** marketing and failed business plan not to mention my cat could come up with a better TV-deal.
I can understand your other reasonings as to why you are pro-owner but to say you are pro-owner because the product is the league which has so many problems caused by the owners? Gary Bettman is more concerned with breaking the union than he is about forming a partnership with the players. I work in a union and my owner isn't reaching out to me to give me part of his cut other than the $8.50/hr I get before my taxes are taken out. The product is the league and the players together, not one way or the other. You watch hockey for what...go home and talk about the gate recepits? Please.
Excuse me while I go blow the smoke out of my ass.
