Intersting take on NFL Lockout.

The owners are multi millionaires and are greedy by nature. The players play the game from the time they are children because they love the game. They grow up hoping that they'll make it big in the pros and making the big money. When it comes to money the players earn it. It then goes to their owner who take the financial risk.
Maybe Southwest has got something that the NFL owners don't. Rules to make them play fair. Let it go to the courts.

The Players are Multi-Millionaires if they stop "making it rain" and invest properly. Who cares how much they love the sport. If it a love of the sport then they wouldn't be crying to the owners that they want 50%. What other company/ owners give their emplyees 50% of the profit? Players play a GAME. They do earn money just like any other worker that has a job earns money. I don't know what you mean by "Owner's play fair." Owners propose a salary, the player accepts it or rejects it. A contract is signed. The NFL needs to break free of all the "we make your business" talk from the players.

Owners own the team not the players. If it does go to courts I hope the players fall on their arse and the owners start new with a fresh draft and no union. Which by the way they dissolved only so they could go to court. Sham!!
