It sounds like you're letting your emotions cloud your judgment. Why does their net worth make any difference here?

Should every player open up his finances to his team when he's negotiating for a contract extension or a FA contract?
The team is already aware of what players make.

The team doesn't know what the player's expenses are. Surely that's relevant when the team decides how much the player "needs" a bigger contract. This is effectively the same argument being made about the owners' books. It's ridiculous, I know.

Considering the Players ARE the reason these Owners make 100s of millions, then it does matter.

1. These players are not irreplaceable.

2. Even if they were, your argument wouldn't make any sense and doesn't answer the question. Why does it matter?

What is going to happen is if they don't get more money already high prices are going to go a lot higher and then they will add more games.

So who would replace the players?

Those owners ARE the reason those players make 100s of millions. If there were no NFL the owners would still be wealthy while the vast majority of NFL players would be far from wealthy.

None of this has anything to do with a business owner having to show his books to an employee. You want to see the books? Start your own business.

The only way the NFL remains the NFL is if a deal gets done and the anti-trust suit and all other suits against the league dissapear.
The owners know this. Glad to hear the players might know it too.

The NFL is unlike any other business.
