[QUOTE="DTown SBrown, post: 362394, member: 2206"] THe reason #1 the players pushed this issue: THE OWNERS refused to open the financial books to scrutiny. When they are saying they dont want more money, in part that is truth. The players have asked for no extra money, they have asked the owners (who are pushing to pay less money to the players than the old 2007 CBA) to show them the books to prove that the current pay scale and model is not beneficial to the growth of the league. The owners are essentially telling the players and reps "hey, just take our word on it". Would you do that if you were were moving in with a buddy and he said, Oh, yeah, by the way, the cable bill doubled, so I need more of your $$$ to pay it"? No, you would want to see the bill, and you would be well within your rights to do so. This is what the owners REFUSED to do, causing the decertification last evening. This is why the owners conceded EVERY other point in the deal, OTHER THAN to show the books. I side with the players over the owners, as the owners, if they have proof to back up their position, would already have a deal done with the NFLPA. Does anyone else remember how big of a deal it was back in Jan when the Packers released their financial report? It is due to our team being publicly owned, and it allowed the players and reps to get a glimpse of operating costs for an NFL team year to year. NO OTHER owner has been willing to do this. This is the ENTIRE ISSUE that has stopped football. Im of the belief that if the owners are telling the truth, they would show the proof to the players. The fact that they are refusing tells me they are being dishonest and moreover, greedy in their position. [/QUOTE]
