In theory I back the players, but in reality I don't support either side. Both sides are making so much money, but what to do they ever give back to the fans? Who can even afford to go to a game any more? The owners may be asking the players for salary and other types of cut backs, but do they ever think about reducing ticket prices, psl's, concessions? I love watching the game, and I hope they settle but I'll survive without it.
I hope they have a better deal for the veterans. Hate to see vets get cut because they have to millions to an unproven rookie. They need a reasonable rookie scale like the NBA. Also, leave it at 16 games and cut back the preseason games to two so the owners don't fuck the season ticket holders as bad.
Both sides are free negotiate as they see fit and both will do so in whatever way will best serve their own self-interests
If there is a lockout my Sundays aren't going to suffer
If the players come out with a great deal, I'm sure the owners will still see huge profits and will always be free to come up with new ways to generate revenue
And if the owners come out with a great deal, I'm sure the players will still be earning good wages (and will be reminded that they could have spent the past few decades building a strong union rather than one that'is a total pushover)
