I just don't see how the players can sit out a year. They stand to lose to much income that they'll never get back. If a player makes $500thou a year how can he just let that much go? That time will be gone and he will never have a chance to make that money again. That's a half a million dollar opportunity gone. With such a short career they have to make hay while the sun is shining. No matter how good of deal they get from the Owners it won't make up for a years lost income so I suspect they'll show up to work before summers over.
The owners know this.
