Hockey, Capitalism, and Common Sense.

^The above is a link to the story I'll be talking about today, basically it says that the NHL players couldn't reach an agreement with the owners, which means the fans get screwed and there'll be no season. As a fan of hockey, I'm sad, sad that they're unable to let a free market live.
They were apparently debating the salary cap on the league, the players and owners were separated by about $6.5 million dollars.
Let me first say that I'm not in favor of a salary cap, although it keeps the game fair, I believe it stifles the free market in professional sports, because, if you think about it, that's all they're changing, whether or not to allow teams to pay huge sums of money to their players, or employees, as you see it.
Most people see this as a question of players greed, always wanting more. But I don't see it that way, I think that if you don't think that NHL players should be payed $10 million, pick up a stick and score goals better. I have to side with the players here folks, no salary cap, pay them as they can be paid. It's capitalism if you think about it. Farewell.
