1: Quit calling football players "labor". That's pretty insulting, when the rank and files of most unions can't afford to attend a damn football game. Sure they work out hard for several months a year, but they're millionaires living a dream. Give me the league minimum for two years and I own a tavern or a couple apartment complexes or something. Labor? Wow.
2: Owners buy, build, and run businesses. They market, lease, account, pay taxes, etc. and make it possible for employees to be employed. Jobs come from the private sector. Risk-taking entrepreneurs and very smart people create them.
In this country, you get to own things. You make it or buy it, and it's yours, period.
NFL owners are entitled to make as much of a profit as they want. The head of the Players Association hears them complain of diminishing returns and pending losses, and he says he'll be reasonable and invites them to open up their books to him.
This guy is not a real american. He's an employee, and thinks he has the right to stick his nose in his bosses books and determine what he should be paid. No doubt, he intends to generously permit his boss to keep two percent of the dividends if he takes a salary cut as CEO. Maybe he'll even be able to net the league minimum!.
Yes, the owners want an eighteen percent reduction in pay. That's because the last deal was horrific and the employees "own" two thirds of the revenues!!! The owners got screwed, and want it to stop!
Kevin, you have NO RIGHT to see your owner's books. You have a right to force a lockout and blame the owners for it. You have a right to wreck football. But you have no more right to your boss's books than you do to barge into my house and help yourself to my TV. I bought the house and TV. It's mine. Your boss bought the team. It's his.
3: I wouldn't have you on my team either. They need players, not uninvited partners. PLAYers.
