There is a clause in the current CBA that states they can cancel the season if it is not financially viable.I donf really have any long term preferred o side in most of these sports labor disputes. Both tend to be guided by greed.
In this specific situation though both sides agreed to thr cba during the pandemic, knowing full well the next season wasn't likely going to be "normal". So if the owners try to backout now, I hope they get taken to the cleaners via arbitration or the other legal avenues availible. Imo don't sign a deal if arent prepared to deal with the consequences.
That said, I think the safe bet is the two sides still come to a sort of compromise.
Cancelling the season is completely within the parameters of the contract they signed.
I hope the players realize this. The owners will exercise their rights within this current CBA if they stand to lose too much money.
It’s up to the players if they are willing to make financial compromises (the owners would be too with decreased revenue).
