They don't hate me...it just shows how disconnected they are from frontline staff...(And I'm not even technically considered frontline)

  • Lets take a trip down memory lane shall we... Quite an odd revealing statement, said unprovoked.  Seems pretty anti player to me. Reason why he thinks the players should have caved in mi

  • Saying "I want the owners to get more money so they spend it on cool stuff for us" is the funniest most unrealistic expectation of this thread, thank you for that

When I say "they" I mean CEOs and the board(the ones actually making decisions) not middle management. They hate them too.

Today is Employee Appreciation Day. Our directors handed out bags of chips to everybody saying we're all that and a bag of chips. I've never felt more appreciated.

Damn, y'all didn't even get a pizza party?

I can't imagine being this bitter.  If I truly thought that, I would be out the door, and have been.

Now this is typically accurate.

Those damn greedy players are at it again.

 

So if the luxury tax kicks in sooner, it benefits the smaller budget teams giving them more money to compete. The players want to stop tanking a have lower budget teams spend more and develop better teams. I'm wondering why the players are angry? Don't we want more teams hitting the luxury tax threshold and kicking in more money?

ngl thought Detroit would have been worth more 

What I don't understand is if it's such a shitty business to be in, and people are lined up to pay you billions of dollars for your team, why aren't you selling?

Do you want the workers to have no money?

That's the kid.  I wonder if it got divided up a bit after dad died?  I know they have quit spending like drunken sailors up there since he passed.

Paupers compared to the Waltons or Bezos. Plus if the owners published a list of the wealthiest players it wouldn't matter. 

Love the players chipping in to help. Great move. And publicizing it was a nice PR move.

Forbes listed the family worth as $6.6 billion in 2017 so that has definitely been split somehow.

Oh look, the players are starting a fund to take care of stadium staff screwed over by the lockout, while the owners are squabbling with labor over minuscule costs like meal money.  But the players are the greedy ones and ownership deserves all of the spoils because of "risk"...

Salary cap and floor is what this defines. 

Players are scared of that. 

Can't have it both ways.

I'm just looking at the Forbes valuation of 1.26B, would definitely have thought that it would be more than Arizona

$1 million to purchase publicity in their favor, smart move.
