The Messenger said:What ??
The players do not market the game .. They do not set up ticket prices .. They do not go out and sign big TV deals .. They do not spend Millions on marketing the game in advertising and promotions ..They do not even have a say in how the game should be improved to make it more entertaining .. They do not influence Parking or Concession or Merchandise revenue.The don't even have a say in what kind of team an individual owner puts on the ice. etc etc etc ..
So yes I would expect the owners to be accountable for the things they control ... NOT THE PLAYERS ..
That's why we have a Lockout .. The players have no control over any aspect on how the NHL is run .. yet the owners want to link them directly to it via their salaries, and bottom line need to find a different way then to get them to lock into a falling market place ..
So, the solution to this money-losing proposition is to keep players earning the same amount of money?
