Not sure what to think.
They negotiated a CBA with a revenue split - so they could share in the goodnness.
Now they get to share in the downside.

For me it's pretty straightforward, and largely what the current players seem to be wanting to do (unless I misunderstand which is possible) is have future players pay for that loss, so they can get theirs now.
