So the players have wanted a salary cap tied to revenues all along?
Revenues will be down by much more than just the amount of games missed. No tickets, no concessions, no box rentals. That seems like a fact to me. Do the players have a right to expect their contracts to be honored? Sure, but also assuming there are some force majeure considerations. Do the owners have right to keep their doors closed if opening them would cost them money? Sure But they also need to think about the bigger picture.
Maybe if both sides negotiated in good faith like adults, recognizing the unprecedented times we are in, they could come up with a one time solution to save the season.
