Millions of NYers Are NOT Watching NY Knick Sensation, Jeremy Lin

[Yavin4]

That's right. Large swaths of NYers in the heart of the city ARE NOT watching one of the best NBA stories in a while, and maybe the best NY Knicks story in decades.

Why aren't millions of NYers watching Jeremy Lin? Well, you see when two mega corporations fight, it's the people that lose. Madison Square Garden TV and Time Warner Cable are having a spat over fees, so millions of NYers are being blacked out from watching Jeremy Lin play.

1. If Lin played anywhere else, this wouldn't be much of a story

Too bad about your cable and MSG. Hope they work it out, but it does prove a point: They really don't give a damn about us, we're paying more either way.

2. Well said.

This young man would stand out on any team. I'm glad he is now a Knick. I've liked the Knicks for many years, going back to the mid-1960s. At times, that has been rewarding; other times, painful.

3. The downside of having a huge TV market

is that sometimes you have to deal with two heavyweights in the same market and the fans can get screwed.
