Well sports fans the NBA and NFL will be on strike. As a sport fan I am very very upset at what is going on because their is a chance we might not have any NBA games the coming season. Basketball is my favorite sport. The NBA Summer League has already been wiped out. This is going to hurt long players and players who want another chance to make a NBA team.

The NFL is on strike but it seems their is a opening for the two sides to agree on everything and we will have a NFL season to watch. I am very happy to hear this. But nothing is in concrete yet.

We the fans are just lying in the cut waiting to see if we can watch our favorite teams play. It is truly sad truth be told. We sports fans cannot buy season tickets for a NBA/NFL team or tickets to a game if there will be zero games. Of course our Seattle Sonics left town to dust town Oklahoma City so we don’t have a NBA to watch but we do have our Seattle Seahawks.

Sorry to say I think the NBA season might be in SERIOUS trouble. If you can remember, the NBA went on strike in 1999 and half the season was cut out. It was truly sad.

What makes this sad is the NBA just ended a great season with great games and great ratings. Now all that gain will be out the window. This is a outrage.

Ray Lewis said if the NFL does not have a season, crime will go up in our cities. I don’t know about that Ray but as a sports fan I will be very very disappointed if both the NFL and NBA don’t solve their programs and help provide us the sports fans the joy of cheering for our favorite team.    Gordon Curvey
