I'm not taking sides in saying this, but overall the players approach has always been about getting the biggest contracts possible, but at the same time that reduces pay for the avg. player.
Well it also shorts them as group on what Cornwell calls investment. The 1 bil that gets scraped off the top he calls "investment" with no tangible return (or very difficult to quantify return). That's the part that is broken. The players give back that 1bil in the name of helping the game but then they have no reason to know whether the 1bil lines the owners' pockets or really does "help" keep the game going.
