The empty seats filling NBA arenas over the past few seasons are no secret. However, NBA commissioner David Stern has a good explanation for the low attendance figures.“Yes, there are a few empty seats, but guess what? The Statisticians Union is on strike. They’re not at the games to count the seats. So how can we trust the numbers? Especially when they’re skewed by one or two because the counters aren’t there?
“Don’t trust the current figures–from Chicago to Philadelphia, the NBA is as vibrant as ever!”
The Picayune Times caught up with Martin Yackoff, one of the members of the Union.
“Strike? Nonsense. Would you go to an NBA game if it were your job? Well, neither would I.”
