That is a tangent and not worth debating.
Expansion fees increase the wealth of owners, they pay tax on it, it increases the value of their franchise.
Players want a greater share of the wealth that is created by the game they play.
They already negotiated a share of naming rights for example. And that doesn't matter whether they are paid all at once or over time. People are too hung up over expansion fees not being recurring and predictable.
