08:08 AM ET 10.21 | The headline, by most accounts, could read, "Progress averted." This is a circus now, the big tent setting up at posh locations all over the island of Manhattan with men in clown suits parading in and out at all hours of the day and night. Wasting our time, we come to find out. ... Soon, the owners and players will be negotiating in a forest with no one around to hear them except each other. And after what happened Thursday, oh, do they deserve that. They deserve each other. Mediated talks to end the NBA lockout blew apart with such force Thursday night, even as millions of fans had been led to believe a solution was near, that you could hear the collective groans of the gullible all across the land.

When the circus does come to town, hopefully no one will buy a ticket to see it.

Keep the arenas locked up because no one is coming even if the real fools do come to their senses.

I wish it were so but sadly I think the arenas will be filled once the NBA starts up again in a few years...
Most of the seats are owned by corporation that just give the tickets out or season ticket holders that cling to them as a status symbol.
The real fans at home and in the pubs will just tune in as usual because really... it's not like what they think matters at all to the league.

And what good is raising your voice if no one bothers to listen or cares about what you have to say.

Fans have to talk with their wallets and I think they will this time especially if people get mad based on this headline. "Hey NBA..wanna see fools..we'll be at the hockey game". There are enough other sporting events going on a lot of fans can skip the NBA.
