The players on the other hand have no qualms about passing on expenses to the fans as they've insisted that only revenues be shared and not expenses.
The players are 100% in the wrong and I hope, for the sake of the fans, and the game, that both sides resume talks ASAP. If the players elected president were willing to negotiate in good faith, the sport wouldn't be in this mess

Are these the same owners that ask tax payers to fund a large portion of their new stadiums? I don't get how someone can be that 100% for the owners. I'm not saying the players argument is flawless but like I said the lockout is affecting a lot of people and not just the players. Yet the owners seem content on keping the lockout going. Maybe u'll get ur wish and the players fold to the owners demands, since they have more to lose that the owners (not to mention the league and team employees).
Regardless let's get ready for a shitty season...if it happens at all.
