This is not good. http://1045theteam.com/owners-vs-nfl-players/ |
This isn't exactly accurate. The 60/40 split was AFTER a cut had been taken off the top by the owners to go toward various operations costs. The 50/50 split proposed by the players would have REMOVED that cap and been a pure 50 percent of revenues. It was a slight reduction overall, but it's not near the 10% reduction that it seemed like.
