So you believe a player wearing a shirt that says Pay Me What You Owe Me has an intricate understanding of the league economics. We differ on that opinion. I believe they expressed an economically ignorant and entitled position.
How about 9.5% of the net revenue and we can talk. Oh, wait that doesn't exist. So what is deserved for an employee of a money losing organization? You believe they deserve more despite providing a product that isn't profitable. My bosses have always thought different and no matter how much of a cunt they were, they were right. But I am all for everybody working the market to determine their worth. Strike and stop play and we'll see how that works out in the long run. Poke yourself in the eye, won't keep me from seeing the reality. Since I don't sit on an obscene pile of money, my long term economic opinions are irrelevant, and nobody has a clue how it would actually play out. But it sure seems like a poor choice to make right now and kill all the momentum of the last half decade. The general public fish is biting the bait but it ain't hooked yet.
