Boycott first NHL game back
As a bartender at a sports bar in a major hockey town, I am absolutely
disgusted and fed up with the lack of negotiations and willingness of both the
NHLPA and the owners to bring a stop to the NHL lockout. What the players and
owners do not understand is what affect this work stoppage has on the 'little'
people who rely on the NHL to make a living. Whether it be concession workers,
small local media outlets, sports bar owners and its employees etcetera, this
lockout has to end soon. As bad as I feel for these millionaires and
billionaires arguing over seemingly nothing in comparison, I feel like it's
time for both sides to take a step back and have some compassion to the people
who have helped made them this rich in the first place, the fans. I along with
most diehard hockey fans will forgive and forget that this lockout ever
happened, all I ask is that we the people boycott the first game back and show
the players and the owners that without us, there will be no league. It feels
like the players and owners are giving the fans the finger, and I think it's
time that we give it right back!
