Kevin Robert Dean Hello

Just was wondering if anyone had an opinion about the Hockey lockout? Opionions of Sports Unions, ect? Whiney rich athletes or workers with a legitimate right to demand compensation from the owners who exploit their fame?

^^^^^^

CB: Since so many people (men) are focussed in on sports, the lockout situation might be a good way to illustrate to a lot of workers the principle that the bosses don't produce anything, or at least that they get paid way beyond any reasonable assessment of their contribution to the "product". Hockey owners don't score any goals, skate around creating excitement, etc. Why should they get more of the revenues than the players ?
