But 72% of salaries won't go well when I see the league heading for something like 36% of revenue.
That can certainly be the owner's issue to manage until escrow pushes the issue to the players, but they do risk two things with that stance.
1) the owners saying we're not going to have a season then.
2) teams folding and jobs lost.
It's not as simple as holding to an agreement, or who's fault it is.

In other words: Acknowledging Reality.
Not going to get into the whole argument over and over again, but some people want their benefits and everything else...regardless of the reality of the situation.
