i have nothing against hockey, but i'm happy to see that there is a lockout. I hope that MLB gets locked out too. These players are making WAY too much money. esp the NHL because over the past few years they've alienated so many fans (baseball is doing this now) with high ticket prices and other rubbish. they should be grateful they get to PLAY anything for a high paying living
MLB needs to disapear altogether...LOL
hockey is the lowest paid sport profession. the highest paid is $10 for 3 years compared to a basketball player who gets what $130 for 5 years. Uh yeah they don't deserve THAT much. No sportsman does.
To compensate for the low pay, they do raise the prices. Its sad but understandable.
i think the problems with both of those sports is that there is such disparity between the good teams and the bad teams. Where in the NFL any team has a chance each year to make the playoffs and win the superbowl, in the MLB and NHL the big money markets rule.
Actually that's not really true. In the NHL it isn't always the biggest money markets that win, look at the Rangers they have one of the highest salaries and they also have one of the worst teams year in and year out. That's one thing I love about hockey, you can have an group of amazing all stars play together but if they have no chemistry your team will stink. It's all about getting guys who play together well.
