Why shouldn’t the owners, or the MFL be greedy? Isn’t that kind of what business is? Nobody is forcing these players to play. Nobody is forcing them to accept scholarships and get educations and then move to the next level. That is completely their choice.
If and when the owners see fit to make changes that threaten the health and well being of the players, in my mind, it's wrongly done. Player play because they want to earn a living, just like most of us. Nobody is forcing anyone to do anything they don't want to. All of us do what we feel we have to do to survive in the manner that we see fit.
Nevertheless, there are times when many employers would see fit to take advantage of that need in preference of padding their own extremely considerable wealth. It's something that some of them would prefer to do, regardless of the consequences that the employees feel obliged to accept, simply to stay employed. This is why unions ever came into existence.
I'm certain that the next contract between the owners and the players union will be arrived at with the mutual consent of both sides. Only then will it be resolved to the satisfaction of both sides. That, my friend, is what honest negotiation is all about. Compromises are usually arrived at before all is said and done. There's no good guy nor bad guy when contract negotiations are completed in the best interest of both sides.
