Act to end the lockout.

by MoneyBaller on Nov 20, 2011 2:11 AM CST

As fans, what can we do about the lockout? Do we just sit and watch this mess or try to force their hand a little bit? I like the idea of being pro-active and doing something about it. Check this new site below and let's vote on the petition there to create some pressure from the fans side. We generate each and every cent they are fighting over and we don't have any say in the matter only because we are not organized. We don't have an union or a Commish. Well, lets get organized and push this petition forward. 2 minutes of your time could make a big difference. Once we hit a few hundreds of signatures, the snowball effect will kick-in and we may end up with a lot of momentum. Wouldn’t it be cool to put the fear of the fan in both the owners and the players mind?

Signed.

Everybody should do this. There’s not a lot we can do so we should at least do the small things.

Don't put your CBA there...

Honestly, from scanning over it, it's almost as dumb and pity as the actual Occupy movement

It did provide some humor though. "Any start date later than Dec 1 St 2011 is NOT acceptable. " – Obviously not going to happen even if they were to negotiate a deal very soon.

“There is power in numbers and we can use this platform to showcase our strength.” – Could get all your friends and everyone else’s friends to sign it, and it wouldn’t make a difference. It’s not like they don’t know a great number of fans aren’t happy with this, it doesn’t change the fact that this is still a business decision, and eventually, fans will come back.

“Give us our share of the BRI back. We need 5% off on all tickets for the 2011/2012 season across the board. " – If credibility wasn’t already lost before, I laughed again. There’s a reason why there’s 34 signatures, and it’s more than the site being new (even though it seems it’s been in existence for at least about a month). This may come off quite harsh, but I thought honesty is the better policy.
