My initial reaction was "players won't have much choice, as I'm sure the league will just kick start the force majeure clause(s)". So, I googled it and this Larry Brooks article came up;

League agreed to waive force majeure for the 20/21 season and stick with the 72% pro-rated salary.
I understand why the players may be pissed now.
