    Why do you want to hurt the organization over a service provider dispute?

    Maybe because the organization owns part of the station and is a big reason we can not watch the games.

    FWIW, the Rockets' stake is only ~30% or so. Even if Les Alexander had a change of heart and wanted to cave to the TV providers' demands for the good of the Rockets' fan base, he couldn't do it without the joinder of either (or maybe even both) Comcast or Jim Crane (who owns more of the network than Les does).

    What is the point to this? The carriers will know people don't really want CSN and just want free tickets like all good Americans should.

    So you'd like everyone that actually purchased the tickets to have just wasted their money?

    this has to be some form of racketeering or in this case rocketeering.

    Les signed off on the comcast deal knowing deals were not in place with the other providers. Right now it may be all about sh**** comcast trying to force people to use their service, the whole thing was done by Les and Drayton. It is a business and Les took the money over his loyal fans. I guess he really needs the cash. f**k Les and f**k comcast

    He never should have made the deal in the first place without a deal in place with other providers. He left 65% of his fan base out in the cold, screw Les

    If they will also offer free parking, 4 free beers and a hot dog, i'll consider signing their petition which is nothing more than their way of trying to place the blame on ATT, Dish and Direct, when those three are actually the only ones in this whole fiasco that bear none of the blame.

    I signed it for free tickets I could care less about y'all crying over this mess when y'all could find other means to watch the game.
