Lockout в NBA
Оказывается, вчера началась забастовка в NBA
Это означает лишь одно, - игры следующего сезона под вопросом. Собственно говоря, - весь сезон в NBA под вопросом.
NEW YORK (AP) - The NBA locked out its players Friday when its collective bargaining agreement expired, becoming the second pro sports league shut down by labor strife.
The labor deal ended at midnight after players and owners failed to reach a new contract. The two sides remained far apart on just about every major issue, from salaries to the salary cap, revenues to revenue sharing.
The long-expected lockout puts the 2011-12 season in jeopardy and comes as the NFL is trying to end its own work stoppage that began in March.
It is believed to be only the second time that two leagues have been shut down simultaneously by labor problems.
In 1994, the NHL and MLB were idle from October through the end of the year. The NHL locked out its players from October 1994 until mid-January 1995 and reduced the 1994-95 season from 84 games to 48. MLB endured a 232-day strike from August 12, 1994 until April 2, 1995, which led to the cancellation of the entire 1994 postseason and World Series.
Полностью.
И, честно говоря, для меня оказалось большой новостью то, что забастовка в NFL началась аж, в марте и продолжается до сих пор. Вот что значит, не интересоваться футболом вообще.
