(Reuters) - The National Basketball Association (NBA), locked in a labor dispute with its players, has canceled the first two weeks of the regular season, NBA commissioner David Stern said on Monday. The decision was made after league owners and players were unable to reach agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement in a last-ditch meeting in New York. The season was scheduled to start on November 1 and the abandonment covers all games originally scheduled to be played through to November 14. "Despite extensive efforts, we have not been able to reach a new agreement with the players' union that allows all 30 teams to be able to compete for a championship while fairly compensating our players," NBA deputy commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement. The league said refunds plus interest were available for all NBA season-ticket holders for all pre-season and regular-season games that were canceled. More

So while they fight about "fair" compensation, the guys who work at the stadiums selling beer and hot dogs and cotton candy get shafted by not having work and by not being able to earn their paychecks. These athletes need to remember that they are getting paid to play a game. These owners need to realize that they are paying people to play a game. No athlete, in my humble opinion, should draw a multi-million dollar salary for playing a game.

I hope the owners and players lose money big time! I feel for the multitude of businesses and employees losing out because of this squabbling between these jerks.
