So did the NHL and they are still doing so...at least until they settle the lawsuit. The evidence against them is overwhelming.

Of all the things they have done to the game that wouldn't make my top five but, okay. To each his own.
My staying away from it is more symbolic of corporate greed in all sectors. It is getting so bad that at some point to buy a house you'll have to sign a contract agreeing to watch an add before you flush your toilet. It is bullshit, I see tons of adds on the boards already. I am surprised the owners of pro sports dont demand a tatoo of their team be a requirement before you buy a ticket.
But that is certainly equal too the way the players of these sports get treated like race horses. Profit in both cases. It is both, how greed drives them and how they treat workers. I am not against the private sector, much less sports. But the top have way too much power and it is lopsided at this point in history, even outside sports.
