So destroying the NFL is preferable to not making the players take a paycut.

As logical as a hungry pregnant woman in a heat wave.

If the players win then they will destroy the league. I can see the owners shutting down completely and opening under a different business model if they win. How can they do that and not have to deal with anti trust/ collusion issues? Two leagues. There would be no monopoly, the players have two leagues in which they can pimp their services.

So basically this is just another thread to voice your irrational hatred of the players.

A new business model is definentaly coming but I'm not sure a two league system is the way to go. Mainly because in the end I think that collective bargaining is the best way for sustained and long term labor peace. How the owner get there is a big question and it might involve having to change in the short term in order to be within anti-trust law but still allows for easy transition back to an agreement through collective bargaining.

The two league system would be more of a long term solution and would probably be in constant battle by the player unions declaring it a "sham" in courts.

It's a good idea, I'm just not sure thats what the owners want. They are fine with a CBA. They just want the ability to show and gain more profitability and that means no more percentages when it comes to determining the player's cut.
