The owners want it moved down to 43%, would you agree to that?

Also the thing that blows my mind is why fans always side with owners in these situations.

Well there was an earlier article about this that basically said the players favor a system of free spending on salaries with no cap, which would basically put us back into the 80s and early 90s where teams could essentially buy Super Bowls. That kind of crap isn't going to endear me to their side either.
