Replacement players can be found who will gladly play for  what the owners are willing to pay.I just threw out the 30% number.  I'm sure the players would gripe at  owners pocketing $210 M (that's 30% based on an owner paying $700 M for  the franchise).The bottom line it's up to the owners to determine how much they need to  make to make their investment worth it.  At 10% (again, based on the  $700 M figure) it would take 10 years just to recoup one's initial  investment.  That's nonsense.  I have no problem with the owners making a  30% profit.</blockquote>
