I agree that avid fans don’t have a lot of options to apply pressure and pain to the owners. I was wondering if the league’s anti-trust exemption could be revisited by the government if the lockout continues. I seem to remember that the exemption was held over the head of the NFL for one of the labor stoppages. I believe Congress started to apply pressure. Should fans contact their representatives?
On a similar track, I saw this post this morning: The NHL dispute is now attracting the attention of two New Jersey senators, who are urging both sides to settle. U.S. Sens. Frank Lautenberg and Robert Menendez sent a letter Monday to NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and NHLPA executive director Don Fehr urging them to consider the economic impact on their state if the dispute is not resolved.
Great podcast. Thanks.
