A recent poll on the Canadian sports channel showed that 75% of the responders blamed the players, 25% blamed the owners. I guess that`s because it`s multi-millionaire atheletes seen as complaining. Again. But why people would then "side" with multi-billionaire businessness men instead is beyond me.


As a fan, I want a cap. I`ve seen the Jays become also-rans in the AL East and fuck that shit. That`s my platform for all of this: Fuck. That. Shit. Especially the sports media in general doesn`t care or really have any idea that there is a salary discrepancy. There`s an unbelievable amount of shit-talking going on regarding the SkyDome Rogers Center... Rogers Center Dome and how it`s a shitty venue and and a joke and ha ha ha it`s so sterile in there. Horrible points by themselves, but made all the more terrible by the fact that 4 million people caught the Jays when they were beating the living fuck out of everyone in 92 and 93.

So there needs to be a cap. Sports are made-up to begin with so I`ve never understood arguments for unrestrained capitalism to be exhibited within them. But while I agree with the NHL owners on that, I more or less object to everything they`ve done, the way they`ve handled themselves, their condescending little shitbag mouthpiece in Bettman and any claim that they gave a shit about the sport and wanted a cap because of any reason other than it personally increased how much profit their teams made them.
