The players are resisting having their salary tied to a 50-50 split in revenue. The owners did not share when times were good but they want a nice even split when times are bad. It's nearly impossible to know what the player's split was before, but estimates are around 40-45% or so depending on what is included in player compensation.
This is an entirely reasonable stance and I support the players for it.

I don't think so. What am I misunderstanding in his statement? Seems pretty clear to me he wants his full salary for taking on more risk.
