The players, who were getting ~ 60% are now going to accept ~48%?

It's going to be a long summer indeed...

Gotta be more to the story... It appears they're getting prison-raped.

Yeah you rite. There HAS to be something else, or the percentages are for different pieces of the pie...or something.

I mean, I'm down with the owners on this one, but, as a player, I'd be very hard pressed to give back a dime to tell the truth...

Before, the players received 60% AFTER the owners took $1 billion off of the top.
This proposal would eliminate that $1 billion "deductible" and make it a flat 48%.

That's 48% of ALL revenue. That would include concessions, parking, naming rights etc. of all the teams in the league. I think that's more than 60% of just the teams revenue less concessions, parking etc.

This whole thing is stupid. I lost my job and am having to scrape ramen noodles together for meals and these jerks are fighting over "billions". They can all KMA. I just want to be able to watch some football. Sorry guys...didn't mean to be so negative...just getting tired of this B.S.
