It bugs me quite a bit to keep hearing news about potential lockouts in different professional sports because the players feel that they are entitled to either more money, more transparency about the revenue a team brings in, etc. WHY do these professional athletes feel that they should have more power, or more say? I really don't care that they're the talent that people are coming to see. They're not the ones who are taking the risk of owning a business and running it. Yes, the fans go to see them, but try attracting crowds without a venue, or staff to run the venue, or dealing with the business side of things.
I'm not saying that owners should have total control, but players shouldn't have as much say as they seem to be fighting for, in my opinion. They get paid millions of dollars to play a sport. Yes, theirs is a difficult profession, but it's hard for me to see how any individual being paid millions of dollars can feel exploited.
