Golden State Of Mind, a Golden State Warriors community

This is a call to arms! In the midst of the second lockout fiasco of the year, we have reached a crossroads. In one direction is a full 82 game NBA season. In the other is a virtually meaningless, shortened season necessitated by the insatiable greed of the league's crotchety old owners and their dark overlord, David "Union Buster" Stern. Having seen too many of these scenarios come to light with nary a batted eyelash from the viewing public, I am throwing down the gauntlet. The following is a petition designed to demonstrate solidarity with the players union, and a demand for the product we so generously purchase from the NBA in so many forms. Please pass the following along to any SB Nation team site for which you are a member, and any other forum you think might help. I hear facebook is popular. Draw a line in the sand with me fellow fans, Stern be damned! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I, the signator, hereby demand the ratification of a new collective bargaining agreement between the NBA and its player's union, guaranteeing a full 82-game season. Should a single regular season game be canceled because of the current lockout, I promise to abstain from purchasing or viewing any NBA licensed product or media for the duration of the 2011-12 season and postseason.
