I'm with you on this Techno....having been in bargaining sessions for a good dozen years....you have to show management that you're prepared to walk at some point. I know we all want to watch football but players are finally standing up for themselves and I'm with them.
Not saying you are wrong, but,
- The players' committee worked out a deal that they negotiated and believed was a viable compromise to the players demands,
- The league has weathered a cancelled season and a reduced season and a resulting loss of fan interest and are still operating.
- The league is on the verge of a "regular" season with a fair level of excitement for a few of the previous "have-not" teams.
- It's been reported that 30+ percent of the players did not even vote on the package.
And you and others support the players? The players made some gains in this package. In the circumstances they cannot expect everything they ask for. given the above. IMHO.
