Thank you, JoeT for the links and everyone for their input. And I will be getting that book as well.
Upon what do you base this - just out of curiosity? (By the way, ever go to a youth hockey game in recent years? You want to see dissatisfaction?)
I made that statement based on a sports magazine poll from 2002 (I'll provide that link once I find it again) involving the decline in ratings of the major sports in America, and according to their poll the NBA was the only one where fans said the way the games were skewed toward the star players made a difference in the way they viewed the games. If I am not mistaken it said 12 percent of those polled offered this response in regards to the NBA. Add to that the statements made by coaches and players the last few years and it starts to add up. I am not looking to offend anyone, I just wanted a little feedback from the guys who have to bear the brunt of all this and get an understanding of your side of this issue.
