to me, it boils down to one simple question: are you a partner, or are you an employee? If you’re a partner, you’re entitled to look at the books. If you’re an employee, you most certainly are not. Given that they don’t have access now tells me everything I need to know. It’s therefore not the owners responsibility or obligation to show the players anything financial.

so yeah, the owners are going to play hardball. I suppose that’s their right. That doesn’t make it right for us the fans, but then again we don’t have hundreds of millions of dollars on the line to run a franchise.

Yeah I was thinking about that the other day. Traveling 100 people 10 plus times a year top of the line accommodations. Even just planning that would be expensive.

I’ve also been thinking about the absurdity of the players demanding to see the personal expenses of the owners (a sole proprietorship is personal financials) because they MIGHT be wasting money. Well, I’m very few owners are “making it rain” in strip clubs or spending $2000 a month on shark food. Why don’t the players make their personal financials public first so we can all nitpick and laugh at how spoiled they are.

AH, Andy, you would still need some of that money to pay the team expenses. You know, putting on a pro football game does come with some costs.

there certainly wouldn’t be a problem if all teams were like the packers, how to split the 9billion in revenues? players get what they’re getting now and the rest to the community, and youth football
