I'm fine with players getting rich. Heck, even the "insulting" offer from the owners had the players staying rich. I'm not fine with these stupid legal maneuvers. Decertify the union but still collectively bargain, argue anti-trust when you want the monopoly, bah!
If the owners wanted to pay the players $100K / season, I'd be laughing at them. They aren't, though, and even their last offer has them making more money than they did in 2006 when they last negotiated this stuff. To whine about evil owners over that is absurd.
