Compared to the explosive news of Gan Guoyang's comeback, the intense conflict between NBA owners and the Players Union has not become the focus of public attention.
Although the media has been continuously tracking and reporting on labor disputes since the 1995 off-season and throughout the 1995-1996 season, the reaction from the public and the fans has remained indifferent to such news.
A similar situation occurred during the 1995 MLB strike issue, where both players and owners tried to gain an advantage in public opinion, hoping to portray the other side as greedy.
But the reality is, fans are not foolish. Although they enjoy watching games, most won't empathize with billion-dollar owners or professional athletes earning tens of millions or millions annually.
The attitude of fans and the public is neutral: you can argue as you like, but once you reach an agreement, just play well. I'm paying to watch the game.
