Re: Homework: Lesson #1. Fans after strike.

Not to be a smart alec or anything but...Who gives a crap if the "fans" come back?
The only thing I'm concerned about is the season starting on time to watch the
Celtics.  If the average Joe NBC fan doesn't keep watching, so what?  I'll still
watch every game the C's play.  As a matter of fact, if the typical NBC NBA fan
doesn't come back, maybe I'll see less Kobe shirts and he NBC won't hype him to
death.  Were all hardcore fans here, are probably into this game until we die, if
all the fair weather fans go away, great!
