They wrote down B-A-T-T-I-E-R.

So the first day in the army, my dad says ‘Private Battle reporting for duty.’ The sergeant said, ‘There’s no Battle, there’s a Battier (ed. note: pronounced ‘batty-er’).’ So my dad says, ‘That’s not my name.’ The sergeant says, ‘Well Uncle Sam says it is.’ So my dad kept it.

So he was Eddie Battier (still ‘batty-er’), and he met his wife, my mom, in ’75 and she said, ‘It looks French. We’ll call it French.’ So from that point on they were Battier (bat-ee-ay). So I’m a first generation Battier.

The big difference compared to the NFL's lockout compared to the NBA's lockout is that the NFL and NFLPA were ordered by a judge and legal courts to meet regularly to negotiate a new CBA to end the lockout.
Until that happens with the NBA the league and the NBA players association are basically going to play hard ball and won't budge or compromise on the changes both sides are disagreeing on.
