Hop's Heresy: ‘Greed’ keys NFL squabble

Decatur Daily Democrat:

Very soon now, the old collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the billionaire owners in the NFL and the millionaire players will expire. I'm predicting there will be no NFL football in 2011, at least not with many players who participated in 2010.
The reason? It's simple: GREED!!
There's just too much money involved. The $9 billion dollar figure is being thrown around. That's just the loose cash that the NFL admits to. Each franchise is worth a billion, and we know that the new stadiums cost more than a billion.
Somehow, the owners, in the last agreement, gave away 59 percent of that loose cash to the players. Now, they want it back. The key here is that it's the owners' game, it's their commissioner, their stadiums, and, yes, their players. It has been noted that most owners could go two years without any income and be just fine. Of course, all the players making 8 million a year should be able to get by, somehow....
