This Lockout is all about the Greedy Owners

[BuffaloBlitz83]

Owners are all making profits. Show me one that is losing money.

Players aren't seeking more money. They are fine with the current deal.

This is more about Smaller market owners like Buffalo, Cleveland, Jacksonville wanting more profits after seeing bigger markets like Dallas, Washington, New York making HUGER PROFITS. There is no Small Market teams in the NFL, just SMALLER Market teams. This is all about GREED. So they see the best way to grow there profits by taking money from the players.

I agree the owners are more to blame, but the players are almost as greedy. I can't sit here and fault the owners 100%.

How are they greedy by not seeking more. They are happy with the current situation and are fine with the rookie scale going down. I feel the owners are far, far more to blame. I do feel 100% there will be a season in 2011, too much money involved.

They are greedy for running a business? They wouldn't be multi millionaires or own a team if they didn't make business-wise moves.

Like I said in a different thrad thead greenbay , the world champs only made 4 million last year. Something needs to be done by such teams and it's not greed. It's business. If greenbay wants to survive, they need to do something and if that means they are greedy then so be it.

If you don't think the players are seeking more, you are on crack. They want a bigger piece of the television revenue, for one, which is billions of dollars. Let's not skew facts here. Anyone who thinks the players don't want more is fooling themselves.

I don't believe that for a second. TV money, merchandising and all. Not a second.

It's been publicly reported on the radio and no one refuted it. If you don't blelieve that theres nothing I can do.

Players want more as do the owners.It's called a business.

Re: This Lockout is all about the Greedy Owners

All the issues now should have been taken care of when the original deal was signed, but Tags told the Owners " Trust Me " and they signed the deal without reading it... except Ralph & Mike Brown. Now all the same issues exist ( overpaid rookies, too much for the players etc. )

This is Paul Tags fault and the owners would shoot him if he walked past.

Re: This Lockout is all about the Greedy Owners

I agree a little with Cowherd, he said something like when the owners have power they can offer us more, like better a better stadium experience, when the players get more we as fans get no benefits and maybe even have higher ticket prices.

The Green Bay Packers released their annual report today and it showed a net profit of $5.2 million, an increase over the $4 million the team made last year.

According to team officials, while player costs have gone up 11%, revenue has only gone up 5.5%.
“Player costs are growing at twice the rate of revenue,” Murphy said. That, he said, helps explain why the league, with the Packers in full support, agreed to opt out of the current contract and go to an uncapped salary season in 2010.

If this doesn't make people like Blitz understand nothing will. Certainly some owners are making more than others but if I'm an owner and I am netting less than my rookie QB I am not happy. Makes no sense.

a rookie whose done squat in this league. Thats what sick about the whole thing. I can understand that players want more protection out of the new cba for when they retire like better insurance, but what the hell do they do with their money when they are active and making all those millions?

Middle class america also want better retirement benefits but they sure aren't making millions to begin with. So does that make players greedy?
