And despite all that, this is still better than what was going on before.
Better for the players, no doubt about that. However, I completely agree with
Sherman20's sentiment relative to the fans, etc.
As in any and all negotiating, etc., whomever possesses better
leverage has the advantage and upper hand. Currently, it's the young
adult players. It's kind of incredulous really how in such a relatively short period of time, the pendulum has shifted so dramatically.
It's said that
timing in life is everything, well, it certainly rings true for the modern day young
adult who plays a game at an above average level clip. One, whom otherwise/in the moment, maintains very limited other tangible life skills.
Again, no doubt, good for them. Ride the wave for as long as it lasts...eventually that
perfect storm type wave will diminish to calmer seas.
