NHL
You know I really hate no NHL hockey this year. Recently I was thinking that the only one this strike effects is the fans but further thought and talking to friends you know it effects a lot of people and businesses. Yes it does affect the fans but it also affects the hotels and the travel industry. Now I know there is other sports that people can go to but in some markets there is no other major sport to go too and watch. It affects the TV companies like the CBC/Canadian broadcasting company. It affects the owners the Camera crews and the entertainment industry such as the local bars and restronts and the merchandise stands and the people in the arenas that work there and to a greater affect it effects the players. They are not playing so they are not getting paid. I think this strike is stupid and here is why. These guys are making millions of dollars for a sport that most people pay hundreds or maybe thousands of dollars to play. Now before I thought that if the owners are making millions why shouldn’t the players make that too? But infact the owners are actually losing a lot of money. Also this is why it coasts an arm and a leg to go to a game witch I think is wrong. I think the players should stop being so greedy and take a bit of a pay cut. The game of hockey is really suffering I think some big changes have to be made financially and rules kneed to be changed as well. I think they should make the ice size bigger. But I think all of professional athletes are over paid I think doctors and teachers and police and firemen should make what they make and the athletes should make less. But on the other hand maybe they deserve a little more money because they are the best at what they do but they should not make ridiculous amounts of money. All I know is I’m a big hockey and wrestling fan and I’m wishing for some NHL hockey and some good wrestling The wrestling world is not what it was a while ago but that is another topic for another day. Maybe I will get out to see the spitfires the local OHL team and for any hockey fan I suggest you find some local hockey action to go and check out. I’m done for now I will try and be around more often sorry to the three people that check out this sight just joking maybe next time I will talk about wrestling in till than keep on rocking and go spits.
