    This article just gets me madder and madder at the owners.  It makes me realize the owners don’t want a compromise they want to get everything they want at all costs.  If any of this true how can the owners possibly be asking for any of their players’ endorsement money and sponsorship?  That’s never been heard of in sports and if the owners are really taking this stance I think their best option is to take this to court.

     I think the owners are just saying they are the boss and they know it. This is probably just another thing they can use as a threat. I read earlier that if there was no season then 20 teams would make more money that if they played. Thats how much money they are losing and using it as tax breaks for their own business’s. I think most teams are sick of losing money and not being able to compete at the same time. I think each and every owner should be making at least 10 million a season and they should just fix a number around that. They are paying the players 60-100 million so for the owners to make 10 million doesnt seem unreasonable.
