I remember back, when Chubby Smith bellowed these words about 5 weeks ago, I knew they were gonna make the saying a battle cry. But it also made me believe, that this was going to court. I dont think chubby had any intention of agreeing to, or negotiating in good faith for a new CBA. And now, people are starting to get that. They walk away from the table, and they want to say “Let us Play”? How about, sit down, shut the F up, and actually negotiate a deal? I have no time for Smith, and why did they hire a litigator?, and not a negotiator?

its just a ploy by the union to try and garner some fan support. They know they have an uphill battle against the owners and they will need as much fan support as possible.

The rookie wage scale and the benefits for retirees are not sticking points. Veteran players and owners largely agree on these issues. The 18 game schedule is not a big sticking point either. The players are simply using it as something to barter with. There is one deal breaker issue and one deal breaker issue only: the players get 60% of the pie. That is higher than in any other sports league. The owners won’t tolerate it any longer. The owners have floated out numbers like 53%, which the players would never agree to.

If they want to play so badly, they could just roll over and accept management’s offer…

…OK, so maybe they don’t want to play THAT badly.
