Why are the players possibly going on strike next year?

i hate when ppl call pro's over paid. We are the reason's they are overpaid. And I REALLY HATE when they say an athlete is greedy when they want more money. How many of you have left a company for more money? Thats what they do. Now for the ppl that say, " I have been with the same comapny for 92 years blah, blah, blah..." well so has derek jeter and tom brady and dirk nowitzki

Didn't say anything about anyone leaving any team. They're not satisfied with want they have where they're at and are in a contract they can't get out of so they're going to walk out. ;)

yeah it cracks me up because you never hear these people complain about movie/tv stars being over paid, and yet pro athletes put a whole lot more into their work than these stars do

Players go on strike it ain't gonna hurt the fans. that's money they won't have to spend to go to a game. Eventually greed for the bigger pie will lead to the end of pro sports. Owners will say enough is enough. Sometimes unions can strike their way into poverty.

they create the salaries bc we as fans spend thousands of dollars to see a game and buy jerseys and nachos. if you dont like how much they get paid....dont watch
