Message: [QUOTE="kyleslamb, post: 75173, member: 895"] Some would say perhaps it's a different perspective when you're the one that actually has to pay the money, eh? I wouldn't suggest he's a hypocrite, I would say he's realized it's not as easy as it sounds now that he's been on the other side of the table. It doesn't matter how much the players have already given up in negotiations, it matters what the owners need to receive in order for their teams to profit. It is, after all, a business, so they should not accept any less than it requires for them to make money. I don't know how much that is, but it might not be prudent to assume $3 billion automatically does that. I'm not feeling terribly sorry for the owners, as they agreed to the deal to begin with. However, I think it's silly to fault them for realizing their mistakes and trying to recover from them. Good for them. They have the right to look out for their business interests. [/QUOTE]
