As for the NBA they’ll definitely have some ensuing problems. But I think that of all the people known for their astuteness. Stern may well be the one who knows how best ride this storm overall. When he took over the reins he patiently turned the whole thing around and made it the financial behemoth that it now is.

Moon Dog One can either view this as the perfect storm or the blissful ignorance of the owners. They're now going to either step up to the plate and place their houses in order or fall by the wayside. Nowhere will this be more indicative than within MLB. The NFL has already laid off 10 % of its staff in its New York office. And around the league the same is happening within a number of franchises. And to the that they've yet to come to an agreement as to the CBA and the Players' Union. And you've got a lot riding on the whole situation . That being said the NFLPA have some real issues that's in need of being addressed concerning their members. As for slashing of ticket prices that won't be happening. It's not within many of these organizations to be that amenable to the needs of their patrons. The owners aren't always that amenable or benevolent. And tell me why it is that an idiot like Michael Bloomberg can deride the Federal government for bailing out financial sector and the Big Three domestic auto manufacturers ? But then use $2.3bn of taxpayers' monies in New York to build two new stadiums for the respective baseball franchises . The guy is no end of an ass to begin with. He may well be a self made billionaire but that so called business insight has become skewered as his political ambitions. .....................

Didn’t the NFL slash playoff ticket prices by 10% to help ease the pain?
