Are The NBA Owners At Fault?

So, the NBA owners want more money and want the players to make less. Of course, that's the mindset of corporations, we'll take the majority of the money, although people are paying money to see the players. Without the players, no money will be made, so you'd think there would be a middle ground. Of course, the players wouldn't make the type of money they make if the owners didn't agree with paying them this way.

There was actually a time when owners and coaches ran their teams. There was even a time when players made less than the coaches. But, as the owners and the leagues started to realize that the players ARE the game, they started paying them an enormous amount of money simply because they could afford to and with the presence of the players, it  yielded them even more money! So, the philosophy shifted and rightfully so. 

Would You Sue A Company For 80 Cents?

The world is in such a crazy state nowadays that nothing surprises me anymore. As I am reading the New York Daily News, as I do daily, I come across this article, Mom sues Century 21 for 80 cents, argues department store ripped her off. 

I've said this many times before, this society is sue happy for NO REASON at all most times as frivolous lawsuits just clog up the courts and prevents people who have real issues to get a satisfying and prompt court date because of suits like this. I remember several years ago, while I was living in Harlem, while in my car, I was hit by another vehicle and my car was damaged. I was a little shook up, but no injuries that warranted medical attention. My car was towed to a garage and one of the mechanics approached me and told me that they had a doctor who I can go see. I'm looking at him and saying, nah, I have my own doctor.  He goes on to tell me that this particular doctor can write up a report that basically says that I was injured and would need constant medical attention and that I can use this information to take to a lawyer that they also had ties to, in order to get a monetary judgment, heavily in my favor. Now, I can't front, for like, 6 seconds I thought about it but my moral compass completely took over and I told homeboy no and he even looked mad that I declined.
