It's an amazing success-story of the capitalist system that the average victim of this system (i.e., the ordinary schmuck paying thousands a year in health insurance and trying to figure out a way to pay for education), still sides with the owners and CEOs, even mouthing all the attendant b.s. justification--they worked hard, they risk so much, they lose so much more money than we do--there's a nice scene in Bertolucci's 1900 that deals with this idiocy). And it doesn't seem to matter whether the workers are prof. athletes or some poor bastard flipping burgers.
"Fans have become more entitled than anything. So they're starting to question our motives for the game, or how we approach the game. The ones that do question -- like who are you? Just shut up and watch the game tonight." --Kevin Durant on players' lack of effort in regular season games.
Very telling, indeed.
Your whole idea that there is a mean posse is delusional.
Sure, people get emotional and personal, at times, but that comes from both sides and all sides.
IMO, most people are pretty respectful of each other's opinions, and if they think one is absurd, they may say things that offend. I don't think most is intentional on anyone's part, except a couple posters- none of which are part of this so-called posse.
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
Even the worst and lowest budget teams have seen their value multiple exponentially over a very short time.
Even if we convince ourselves some teams are losing money, they amount these owners make when they sell their team is so astronomical, this whole talk of "risk" is comical.

Not much of a posse. No authority, or jurisdiction at all, but wears the posse label with honor, and distinction. The funny part is they fancy themselves like the Cartwrights, but are more like Barney Fife with Gomer, and Goober as the deputies. They just think they are mean. I don’t think they bite.
How 'bout some Cypress Hill...

Livin' on phat pockets on flat wit tha gat
Rollin' around nine deuce Cadillac
Still got my homies to watch my back
And they'll smoke ya ass if ya wanna come chat
That's why some pigs an tha kids come sweatin' they follow
A hollow point shell's hard ta swallow
Why wallow when ya come ta roll on I put tha clip an dust
Bring ya ass on, kickin' dust on ya head as tha gat busts
My grip surrounded I'm about ta get rushed I brushed wit death
How many shells stuffed in my closet?
When tha shit goes down ya better be ready (when tha shit goes down)
When tha shit goes down ya better be ready (when tha shit goes down)
When tha shit goes down ya better be ready (when tha shit goes down)
When tha shit goes down ya better be ready (ya better be ready)
I told tha boyz get tha sawed off glock and tha rest of tha gats
As I strapped on tha bullet-proof vest
Boom! I think I got one to tha chest
Hot damn I didn't want to kill a man shit
I still stand tall with tha hill clan y'all better stand back
Niggas bout ta fall I'm comin' out blastin' like Yosemite Sam
get tha cheese an tha bread for tha ham
When tha shit goes down ya better be ready (when tha shit goes down)
When tha shit goes down ya better be ready (when tha shit goes down)
When tha shit goes down ya better be ready (when tha shit goes down)
When tha shit goes down ya better be ready (ya better be ready)
