I'd rather see the players get it since they ARE the product. I got no problem with players scratching and clawing for max dollars instead of the owners just getting more of it.

Having said that, there is a salary cap. So these holdouts are pointless and just hurt club and player.
I agree that the players are entitled to their fair share. I just have a hard time sympathizing with players when it gets to the point where they’re turning down offers that make them one of the highest paid players in the league. Especially at 22 years old.
