As the clock strikes 12 am on September 16th, 2012, please welcome the latest edition of the NHL lockout. You might want to hurl your verbal stones at the ever lovable Bettman and his team of owners. Or those unfortunate players that make money playing a game. It doesn't matter how you shake it, they want their money and their "fair share". And the fans? Unless we can actually get the PSEC off the ground, here's your very quick survival guide until the NHL and NHLPA get their shit together:

Out Of The Turmoil That Is The NBA Lockout Comes the PSEC: Fans Fighting For Fans

The NBA lockout is 125 days old and this is the first time I rhyme off on it. I've been trying to approach this from the right angle, since all we're reading about is the greed vs greed argument. The real loser in all of this is the fan. The fan is sick of David Stern's villainous posturing and the NBPA's "they're losing more than we are" attitude. The real loss is the entertainment that the fan pays premium bucks to consume. So I'm offering you a solution with the creation of the PSEC (pronounced Pee-Seck): Professional Sports Enthusiast Collective. Together we can make them understand that the fan's need is imperative, and nothing else is of any importance.
