Thread: The Official CBA Negotiations/Lockout Super Thread

I got the link last night from the Kings to either opt for a 5% bonus by letting them keep my money or a per game refund with a 1% annual interest. After selecting my option I got an Out Of Office notification from some Kings rep (not mine).

Nice to see they are giving an option and a bonus or interest on your money this time. Last lockout they kept our money and we got nothing.

What they dont tell you is AEG made a bunch by charging the Kings rent for the arena and office space. AEG also makes the money of parking,concessions and merchandise. They also get the lions share from Sponsorship, suites and club seats. Those all run by a different "brand" under the AEG umbrella. Kings get a % but AEG makes the most by far.

While the Kings may have lost money on the books, AEG made a ton off the Kings and they own the team, so did the Kings organization really lose money ?

Thanks for the reminder sonnyboy11,I will look at which option To chose and go from there. They have till at least the 20th of Sept. to get a deal done before the start of training camp on Sept.21,but the way both sides are talking,I think we're in for a long lockout.

They love the competition, the teamwork, playing in front of the fans.

They want what's fair.
What's a fair split when you have two groups who work for it?
Simple, right?

I couldn't even make it a minute into that self-serving video. I don't give a crap about your stories about growing up and playing pond hockey, blah, blah, blah.... Just SHUT UP and get your asses to the negotiating table and get this done!

At least until the Stanley Cup is given to the best N. American hockey team that plays in the 2012-2013 season. That's where it's supposed to go if the NHL doesn't play.
