The owners care about
long term success of the league. Affordability factors into that.
Your problem is you're talking about "giving credit" like this is an issue of choosing which side is good vs bad.
They are both trying to maximize their profits at the expense of fans. It's not about which side has more noble intent.
I side with the owners because I believe they have more reason to keep the NFL in my price range for the rest of my life. It's not because I believe they have any altruistic motives.
