I wish they'd shut the gates, and let us play ball with no press and no fans.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We don't want to show our hand to the fan base or give up too much too early.
The owners don't win by having a lockout. Shutting down your business is not good for anybody and it's certainly not good for the players, it's certainly not good for the fans. And that's most important to us.
Obviously if Gates turns out missing the first game because of this, that's disappointing for everyone in this locker room because he is big part of our team and we don't want to see that happen.
I hope to get out before they start football next year.
We just wanna see where we stand at right now with our fans.
The players have to come and play. Today we did.
The fans are the biggest reason we do what we do.
We should reach out to people to try to go after the fans the way other sports do. Because we can't just depend on the fact that it is a great game.
We love our fans, so there's nothing we wouldn't do for them, and we go directly to t hem.
We don't want people to leave the stadium until the game finishes.
