Yep, clearly the Owners are the ‘bad guys’ in this issue.  They’re the ones being obstinate.

Oy.

I hope that as this drags on and on (and on and on and on) people will start looking at this issue with a little more of an open mind.  This isn’t a 90-10 owners suck issue.  It’s more like a 55-45 owners suck issue… and it’s trending towards a 50-50 split.

I don’t think the players will like that one any more than they’d like one of that type in HRR.

Yup, the owners will really feel pressure from this stance from the players, because lord knows the owners will be hurting financially should this lockout go on for months and months, while the players can live comfortably off their savings for, if not eternity, damn close to it.

There are no good guys or winners in this, only villains and losers.

Plenty of suck to go around, for sure.
