If I have a lemonade stand and hire you to help me run it, I'm not going to split all the cash I make with you. I'm going to take out all the money I invested in lemons, sugar, cups, etc. And then split whatever is left over with you. It's like that.
Pffft.
#1, if I'm a player, why in God's name would I take that deal? That would be the worst CBA situation imaginable.
#2 If I'm a player, I AM the lemonade.

I don't see why the players should be given any percentage of revenue.... They should be given a percentage of profit.
Revenues will always be higher than "profit" because Revenues is what the company takes in BEFORE ANY expenses are deducted from it. The players would NEVER do it.
The real problem is that unions are adamantly opposed to ANY lowering of the wages.

Thank goodness for that Wikipedia link. Until now, I thought revenue was a street Astro lived on.

This would not be on a team by team basis, it would be based on the league as a whole like, it is now. And even then, yes players should be "penalized" by getting lower salaries if profits are down. Likewise they should be rewarded when profits go up. It's not fair that the owners and taxpayers pay for stadiums out of their pockets and the players don't have to contribute anything towards it. Players need stadiums to play in.
Players have no direct impact on profits. Revenue, yes, but not profits. Their salaries should not be tied to a number that can be manipulated and affected by ownership decisions.

Sorry I have to disagree here. If the team wins....,fans are happy and spend more ...or don't mind spending more should I say then the fans of a team that well......sucks.So yeah the players do affect profit.
