Yeah, but I think the players' argument is that they are not just employees, they are the product and need to be protected. The argument is that a players career lasts four years on average, while an owners lasts indefinitely. But I'm not siding with either of them. Both sides are greedy. The players know the profession they chose and the physical risks involved. They all make more money now than any of us will in our lifetimes. The owners have pretty much made it that unless you are filthy rich or a corporation, you can't go see a game. The whole idea of having to pay for the right to buy a seat at a game should be illegal. That's like if I opened a store and said you can shop here, but before you walk in the door you have to first pay me to give you the right to buy anything.
