Petition

[devilalum]

me too

 

[kps0001]

If you want to take a stand, vote with your wallets. Don't buy merchandise, don't buy League Pass, certainly don't go to games, don't buy any products advertised during games, and don't grace nba.com with site hits.

Is anyone going to do this? No. Instead, we are just pawns in the whole marketing game, drumming up publicity for the league by sharpening the contrast between Good and Evil. Stern is getting exactly what he wants, and we are too weak to stand up to him in a way that matters.

I am. I was just really getting back into the NBA. It was my favorite sport to watch from the early 80's until the early to mid 90's and then it lost me a little as a fan for several years. Now they have completely lost me. I will still follow and root for the Suns but it will really be hard to watch next year if not completely impossible.

The NBA will not be seeing any of my hard earned money.

That pretty much sums up my life too

I was ordered to keep things to myself and not to express my opinion by him? Then swore at to boot? Then I respond and am called a troll. Interesting.

Just because my views dont match yours Chris dont look at things with blinders on.

Unfortunately, what you are doing is being a troll, exactly what Chris said. If the petition is so worthless to you, why did you bother to come on this thread with this holier-than-thou attitude?

If you want to look down your nose, do it somewhere else.

You certainly would know the definition of being a troll and looking down your nose at others. Maybe your right. :roll:

Who does the afternoon show for Xtra Sports 910 around 5pm? One fo the callers was saying we should petition.

See? You even prove my point! I haven't done one thing to you except give you a little hazing for some of your movie tastes. And it's been ages since that happened.

Well done.

The only petition I'd sign is telling our team to stay on the bench during altercations and dedicate themselves to smart basketball...then I'd throw a ps in there about not falling for Spurs tricks because I'm really dissappointed that they'd let some clown like Horry determine our chances at a championship.


If the Suns lived up to the rules they wouldnt have to look for loopholes now and have to beg Stern for some mercy. DONT LEAVE THE BENCH PERIOD....I dont care what other teams do the Suns can only control their OWN team.

I don't do any of those things!

Unfortunately, I already spend zero dollars on the NBA. I would advocate not using nba.com to check boxscores and such as less site traffic will lead to less clicks on the sites ads and thus less revenue for the league (albeit not by a great amount). However, do go there one last time to submit a complaint. On a side note, if you are willing to take the time to do this, you should also be willing to spend do some research and vote during elections, which matter much more than basketball.

Is there a way you can sort by first name on the petition? I'm looking for my name.

Just signed it. 7,031 now.

Signed.

These things can make a difference.

I wrote an email to the Coyotes' Doug Moss after the NHL lockout expressing my concern about the direction of the league and informed him I would impose a 1 year boycott of all things NHL once they started back up. Not only did he respond, he asked for my phone number and spoke to me for about an hour explaining his perspective. This didn't change anything regarding the lockout but went a long way towards making this fan feel like he mattered to the millionaires sorting out my hard-earned cash.

Fans are the business of sports, let them know when you're unhappy and you might be surprised.

Go Suns!
