This all comes down to timing as they have already agreed to split revenues. The players seem to expect a better than 50/50 split in current year with it being paid back in future years. They even mention that it has never been cheaper to borrow money.
Are other businesses advancing their employees money at this time?

Not to my knowledge.
Honestly, I'm not surprised players are upset; with my experience with unions, any union would push back against this. However, the league needs the players
as much as the players need the league. I think it will take time with strained relations, but we should get a deal.
