I like the idea of boycotting the advertisers, let them know how frustrated
we are. Then, if they feel the pressure of our dollars not being spent
there, they can put the pressure on whoever it needs to be applied to.

Though I have season tickets, I cannot make every game and would like to
catch them on TV etc.

I just think the whole thing kind of stinks.

Comcast is effectively creating a boycott for their advertizers...if they do
not get a bigger audeience the ratings will kill the ratings set ad prices.
Real quick they will be losing their shirt on the Blazers deal...

"kind of".... now there is an understatement... =(

The league has informed the Blazers
that Wallace and the team will be fined the next
time Wallace ignores his responsibilities
to speak to members of the media.
Wallace was unavailable to comment.

Ok, so here is the real question, how does a guy like me know who is
advertising on Comcast, since I don't have Comcast?

I would not hesitate for a moment to let a company know I wont be using
their services/products etc because of them supporting this monopoly.

I'm going to lobby Comcast to start running Blazers games in the
Seattle-Tacoma metro area since our local team is being hijacked to
Oklahomo.
