I love when people with no understanding of history try to make points like this. Strikes or lockouts since 1972:
NHL: Four
NFL: Five. Plus a lockout of officials.
NBA: Four
MLB: Eight. And Don Fehr was prepared to cancel another World Series in 2002. That didn't happen only because the players themselves rescinded their strike vote at the last minute.
