Be Careful NBA Brats, Punks and Know-It-Alls

As the nation suffers financially, the ultra-wealthy from the NBA pout and posture and can't figure out a way to divide up the billions provided by the hard-working, if you're lucky, public.

Guess what, NBA, in the gaming scheme of things, you're a minor entity, a weak fourth, barely ahead of hockey.

In a national poll this week, 73 percent of people surveyed said they could care less if the sport ever came back.

All most fans watch are the last ten minutes of some playoff games.

It's important to the people who have it, who earn a living from it.

Otherwise, it's an afterthought we can easily do without.

Zip it up and settle the strike or my Thunder money will go to the horse race track.

I think what you meant to say below was "they couldn't care less." Becuase, if someone "could care less", that means that they actually do care a bit about the given situation. Just wanted to clear that up

Really? You wasted time to make that point? Becuase why? I could care less means I could keep on caring less and less and less until I don't care at all. Goodness.

Either way, the NBA needs to wake up fast.

Do you really mean to suggest that some of your race track money was going to the Thunder? I don't believe you.
