Then they will lose, too. Just search the 'net for effects of the MLB strike, and see. It took years for MLB to recover from that, attendance and revenue wise. In these situations, they all lose, both the owners and players. That's why I keep saying that I'm not on the owner's side, either. Trust me, while I like the Rooney's, The Glazier's are as greedy and slimy as they come, and I would love to see them get hit in their pocketbook.
I think the ONLY salary requirement should be a cap, just to keep things even. Without a cap, football will be like baseball where only the top earning teams ever win, and it will get boring quick. So, the actual salaries should be between the owners and players.
