4. Oakland Raiders Criminals Ever since John Madden collected the NFL's most vicious trouble cases into a Super Bowl–winning wrecking crew, the Silver and Black have attracted an unholy fan base of hell-raisers, gangbangers, and inveterate knife-lickers, all of whom firmly believe that skipping...

9. New York Yankees Satan's Chosen Team Remember everything you hate about New York? If not, Yankees fans will be happy to remind you. 8. Duke University Basketball Silver-Spoon Bullies Duke fans who complain that everyone hates them because they're too good are like cheerleaders who...

This list is pretty funny: 15. Los Angeles Lakers Starf uckers Congratulations, Angelenos! You are the fairest of America's fair-weather fans! The Lakers unfaithful abandoned their team en masse when Magic retired in 1991, then reconfirmed their fickleness by sending local TV ratings...

I pay next to nothing to follow football. I don't go to games (went to one because I had a free ticket) and I don't buy Sunday Ticket. I don't subscribe to any service that I wouldn't subscribe to without football, I've only ever bought one jersey and I have a limited collection of team gear...

You need more Tigerblood.

I can't help that I'm smarter than the rest of you mouth-breathers.

And Amanda Seyfried... take Scarlett Johansson, make her look like an alien and ask her to take her top off. Yeah, I really just love the tits and the fact that she will show them.

Monica Potter... she is Julia Roberts minus the horse face

This is just typical white wing... err right wing ignorance toward illegal immigrants. Spouting the same stupid rhetoric as their savior, Rush Limbaugh.

Anyone willing to spend the same money to watch replacements is a moron.

The point is you can't just replace them and expect the same results. If you get fired you can be replaced but Payton Manning and Tom Brady cannot. Just look at what happened with Cleveland with Lebron and without Lebron. The team lost tons of money because he was the reason fans came to see...

Okay?

And the NHL is also at 57% http://proicehockey.about.com/od/learnthegame/a/nhl_salary_cap.htm

The English Premier League also pays just above 50% in revenue to players. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8078533.stm

MLB has no cap but still tend to pay 50% http://blogs.chron.com/unofficialscorer/2009/01/another_way_to_look_at_mlb_pay_1.html

and the NFL was already above 50% before this current CBA issue.

The question becomes how much of the buck can they pass? If fans allow the owners to increase prices then it is on the fans not the players. Consumers need to be smart and walk away from things they cannot afford.

No, it isn't. The players aren't just employees, they are the product on the field as well.
