NBA Repercussions From the Boycott -- 2

 It seems that the NBA boycott is ending.  That's pretty fast, even in today's culture.

Here's the reason why the boycott is ending.  The TV networks airing the games told the NBA that its failure to go forward with the games was a breach of contract.  The networks said that they would terminate the contracts as a result.  Given the terrible ratings for the games prior to the boycott, there's no way that the league would have gotten anything like the amount due under existing contracts.  In other words, the boycott was going to cost the NBA real money.  That was it; the boycott is ending.
