If that is the case it works against an argument that the circumstances have obviously worsened because the stats/circumstances related to the pandemic aren’t the circumstances that the league needs to argue have changed. The league would need to argue that there was no way they could have foreseen this decrease in revenue happening when they signed the MOU, but that doesn’t appear to be the case here.
I don’t think the players are trying to harm the league, rather they are trying to protect themselves from having the league attempt to get out of any agreements negotiated in the future as that could potentially have a much more deleterious effect on the PA going forward than a lost season would. .

None of us know the exact assumptions used and models generated when they negotiated ... agreed.
But the logic of them wanting an adjustment pretty much proves that they underestimated a few parameters doesn't it?
And never said the players are trying to harm the league.
They could harm the league, and their union however if they're not careful.
