too lazy to quote......see above
EXACTLY, my point was not that 50/50 is a fair split, but that is INSANE to think that the employees should out earn the owners (who had all the cash to start the teams to begin with).
Beyond the fact that the players "put their bodies on the line" (which I'd venture to say most of us would do for free, JUST becuase playing is FUN or for the LOVE of the game anyways), where is the risk involved for the players?
So you get hurt playing hockey, boo hoo, suck it up junior...guess you'll have to enroll in college and write some papers and then after a few years of that crap, you have years of some crappy dead end job (doing the same thing OVER and OVER and OVER) where you'll try pay off your stupid student loans.
Meanwhile you might get to listen to some baby millionaire whine about how his salary might not stay high enough to allow him to feed his dog STEAK for dinner every day.
Wow....
