I’ve been reading about the NBA today and perhaps it’s my ignorance, I don’t follow professional sports of any kind, but I am really confused about this whole “disbanding of the union” thing.

I mean, are we supposed to feel sorry for the multi-millionaire players, or the multi-millionaire owners?

And for that matter, philosophically speaking, if a basketball falls in an empty arena and no body’s around to hear it, does it turn into a soccer ball like in Seattle?
