I know that protesting concessions sounds good on paper, but do you really
think that protesting concessions really hurts the owners/players pockets???
 
If anything, it will just set them back 1/2 days salary, if not less.
 
To really get the owners where it hurts, you must consider the GAME ITSELF
to get their attention.  When there's no money flowing from the ticket sales
(the bulk of many owners salary), then they will realize just who it is
that theyre hurting...themselves!!!
 
When you protest the ENTIRE GAME for the first 10 games, then the owners
and players will react, hopefully for the positive, the next time the thought
of a strike is in the air...especially at this time when baseball is sans-post-
season and the NHL is missing the OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME to grab some of
the baseball audience...the NHL marketing has increased tenfold over the last
5 yrs and they want to strike when the gold mine is only inches away???
 
You tell me just who is really hurting...in the long run, Id say its the NHL.
