Spurs being sued by fan at Heat game

[silverblk mystix]

Since I am a Contrarian at heart I have to agree with this guy!

Pop and the Spurs should field the best possible team - no in' exceptions.

If these guys are paid millions they should play 82 games if healthy. Why the should they rest when healthy? These athletes are pampered too much.

Hope this guy wins this case, seriously.

Isnt he opening up for fans to then question the disclaimer on your ticket that says no players are guaranteed to play? I mean, if he admits that it is detrimental to fans for players no to play unless injured, there are enough occurrences of that to "get in on" the compensation. Nothing indicates he is going to refund the people who went to that game with the money, again demonstrating how full of the league is. This was way more obvious than crawford trying to fight duncan. I'm so mad we lost last night, because nothing would have exposed stern better. At least its blatant enough where most everyone can see and agree this is bull .

stern did this by himself. and like i said way back then, if he had any concern for the fans he would have used the fine money to give them severance. human stupidity is infinite!

timvp looks like your services are needed again here.

Quit being a deliberately obtuse got.

This coming from a poster with a geek Lebron James in his avator. Yeah, you're to be taken seriously. As long as Lebron plays, right?

Pop did field the best possible team, one with guys who were not overly fatigued from the re ed scheduling. And that team almost beat the defending champions.

Yes, and since this is the case, the NBA or the teams there within should be liable for raising the ticket prices for certain games because of higher demand for each ticket. It should be set at a constant price throughout because afterall, no player is guaranteed to play and no fan is going to games to watch team logos.

Nope. Where was Tim? Tony? Manu?

Pop pussied out and enabled his overpaid stars in cheating the NBA fan. Truth.

Get the back to the Club.

What do you call 1000 lawyers at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean?




A good start.

People hate truth even when it is staring you right in the face.

Anyone with facts can present them- otherwise- this guy should win this case. Not saying he should be paid much but - he is solid on the "principle" part.

Pop had plenty of time to rest his players during the four games in 5 nights. There wasn't a need to rest all 4 in one game. And if the players weren't going to play, they should have at least been present on the bench cheering on the team. Pop went under fire for strategically planning this and Spurs fans are going off on a tangent about rest.

Its more likely you are just stupid-at-heart.

This will die a well deserved death if it ever happened to go federal. It would open the door to so much intense frivolity in the entertainment industry... Do you not see this is basically free advertising for this clown? That is all it will result in.

Good God...

free advertising? Did he write in to ESPN telling them to write an article about how he's suing the Spurs? He's an angry fan who feels cheated.

He has already done an interview with WOAI!

He did NOT have to give his name out!

Please the naiveity is endearing and at the same time nauseating.

I suggest a class action anti-trust case against the Heat for monopolizing talent in an anticompe ive manner. A horizontal retraint of trade to the detriment of each other NBA team and its fans and ancillary participants (e.g., vendors). Damages in the millions (and that's before trebling).

Heck yes!

This leads down so many pathways...

Interesting how you chose two games in late April where players were rested to prevent injuries before the playoffs (every team does it) as opposed to a game in November. Surely, you can do better than that.

This thread is about a fan bringing a case to court because he bought a ticket to a basketball game and several of the best players were rested, thus harming him economically as he did not get see the performers he paid to see. The date of the game is irrelevant to this discussion. To the extent that the fan in this case was harmed, so were those fans in Boston and Washington.

You and a few others are using this case to beat the dead horses from restgate. You really should bump one of the old threads if you want to reopen that discussion. This thread is about entirely different issues. Surely, you can do better.

It is free advertisement.

By getting all this attention he's making himself known out there and in doing so making his "services" as a lawyer available.

He doesn't feel "cheated" for . He's simply trying to make a buck out of this oportunity.

Dont be so naive to think he cares about the NBA let alone that he's an angry fan.

A lot of assumptions there...based on...caca.

[KaiRMD1]

Hmmmmm, this all points to the fact that the NBA doesn't encourage a simple love for the game in general. There are usually twelve active players on a team, fans should technically want to see all twelve (realistically eight) but yet the NBA, especially in this age where super teams have become the norm, has constantly advertised "superstars" as the reason to watch or attend games. Neither Baseball nor Football suffer from this shameless advertising as much which is why they are doing fine financially. Just sayin....

Its all about business. This is NOT because he feels cheated or angry.

Have yu any idea of how this world works? What does a prison guard knows anyway? Other than sticking a finger up immates assholes that is.

When there are no facts- go with insults. Excellent.

If its irrelevant to the discussion, why did you post it? Most realistic fans know the starters will be pulled in late April games with the playoffs approaching and nothing on the line. If those fans pissed away thousands of dollars most likely knowing the starters wouldn't play, then they really don't have a lawsuit. Most of the attending were probably season ticket holders. The NBA has been doing this for years but rarely, if ever, dd a team intentionally hold out healthy players in a nationally televised, high profile November game just to send Stern and the NBA a message. And like I said earlier, if resting healthy players is an option for teams, don't jack up the ticket prices when a contender comes to town. That's extortion.

And of course you do have the facts right. Uh huh.

Your idiocy is astounding. Good bye
