If all the teams are bankrupt (none / 0) (#13)

there won't be multi-millions to collect, anyway. That's the big picture in all of this. The pie just ain't that big anymore. Owners want $3bn, players want $3bn, league makes $1.5bn. That's some kinda fuckedup math there. All of this stupid expansion into stupid markets has destroyed all hope of profitability.

I have no problem when athletes want to make lots of $$$. But when they want to make so much money that it bankrupts half the league, well that's just asinine. Yes, it's primarily the owners' fault, but the players are also being stupid.
