So the league was in HORRIBLE FINANCIAL SHAPE, 2 years ago. ...
Then the strike occured, and everyone lost HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS more as a result. Both sides.
So now HOW EXACTLY are they in a better financial position as a result??? How are they able to reach financial agreements now, with supposedly even bigger losses tacked on -- as opposed to before, when they didn't have these losses.
If they incurred, say $300 million in losses cuz of the strike -- why didn't they just add this $300 million to the players on day 1 of negotiations and bypass the strike altogether.
There are some real morons at the negotiating table here, masquerading as legit business folks.
Usually both sides become financially weaker, and drift further apart AFTER a strike, than before it. The financial logic at work here is puzzling.
It's like being in debt -- so you take a year off work -- and go back and tackle your "new" debt. Which has now increased even more.
