Finally
This past week they finally announced that the 2004-2005 NHL hockey season is officially canceled. All I have to say is “It is about time.” I’m sick of turning on ESPN or watching the local six o’clock sports to hear that they are still fighting over the salary cap. What a joke. It is just a bunch of millionaires fighting against billionaires about who should get paid more. Well I for one am sick and tired of it. Both sides have been bickering about this since before the end of last season and now it is finally reached a head. The only thing that the players strike has actually accomplished is hurting the fans of the National Hockey League. I for one have lost all interest in watching the NHL, even if there is a 2005-2006 season. I think that it is a shame that we have people fighting over who should get another million dollars when there are lots of people wishing that they had money to by food for dinner. Hockey has lost all of its pure sport. It is now so commercialized that it is reaching a point like all other professional sports that it is all about the money and not about the enjoyment. The only pure sport we can now see is in our high schools and colleges where the players are there for the love of the sport and not for the dollar signs. At least we still have that. Without those who play for the love of it, all sports would die. Remember when you were a little kid, playing catch in the backyard? That is what sports are all about, not about the dollar signs.
