• • NHL labor: As lockout nears, capitalist principles allow owners to shrug 
Jesse Spector, Sporting News Atlas Shrugged movie  |Capitalism  | Neither [Ed] Snider nor any owner is about to talk about their thinking on the CBA, not with a $1 million fine on the board for breaking the league’s omerta. Instead, there is this quote from Snider, from an interview last year that Laura Goldman of Philadelphia's Metro newspaper posted on her blog, and which was excerpted on philly.com: “Capitalists build up business so that they can give weaker members of society jobs.” [....] His quote was not actually hockey-related, as Snider was talking about the release of “Atlas Shrugged: Part I” last April, a movie for which he was listed as an executive producer. “Atlas Shrugged: Part II” hits theaters on Oct. 12, which also is when the Los Angeles Kings are scheduled to raise their first Stanley Cup banner.   Published: 2012-09-04
