How does a travesty of justice and serving as a pawn in a PR process for the financial benefit of the owners serve as a wake up call for a player? If anything, it shows an inherent bias against him, that money trumps all, and that fundamental fairness can be disregarded by a CBA for the needs of the few (the owners). This entire process irks me. As much as I despise DV, I also despise a lack of justice. All I see is "might makes right", and that is Machiavellian, not rational, which is ironically, what is often used to implicitly rationalize DV.
