Bettman and the owners don't give two squirts of piss about the fans, that much was evident with the last two lockouts, and the fact that Bettman himself has said that there will be no season without a new CBA. The owners are getting greedy and it's both the players and fans who are forced to suffer because of it. I wonder if the dumb bastard really has considered the fact that a lockout will cost the league more harm then anything else, and if a lockout happens it means that teams lose most of their revenue streams.
