They already admitted the owners took a crap deal last time in a rush to ensure harmony and the continuance of football operations. The owners opted this time to try and get a little back. The reason why the owners want concessions pie is because they are saddled with expenditures for things like new stadiums, remodels, and business developments, not to mention the exponential increases of the players salaries over the past several years. Hell, player salaries alone have increased at twice the rate of revenues since 2006. Imagine if one of your biggest bills increased at twice the rate of your salary. You couldn't afford it. That's what we have going on here. The players on the other hand, they merely collect a check. The players aren't coming out of pocket to pay for stadium upgrades like new scoreboards, or to re-sod the field. They don't pay for business creation or land development. They simply play a game and collect a check.</blockquote>
