If I went to my boss and said I want 50% of what you make and show me your books... you bet your ass I'd be on the street and he'd find someone else. That's how the world works, if they don't like it they can go play in Europe.

Basically your seeing it as "negotiation" between two equal parties. That's not the case at all, the players union is coming to the table asking for a chunk of the OWNERS money.
Are you part of a union? You don't have to answer that, i already know.

I'm not going to repeat what i've already posted. Learn what unions are and what they do...they negotiate how much they get paid...
