eye said:Did you even bother to listen to Domi's interview with Landsberg? Did you hear him say that players views are not taken seriously in negotiations of this type? Just one example of what Domi said that pro PA posters like yourself refuse to acknowledge. Domi thought the players/owners had a workable deal until he sat down with Goodenow. Did you listen to that comment? Domi spoke volumes in a short interview and 90% of it was a slam against his PA boss. I really don't care about gloating or saying who is right or wrong but I'm not afraid to call spade a spade.
So everytime a single player or a small group of players comes up with some brilliant idea Bob is supposed to take that and run with it? Deal might have been great for Domi, but awful for everyone else, should Bob be forced to run with it because 1 or 9 players think its a good idea?
If Domi had the support of the majority, or even a bunch of the PA executives, if this was truly what the bulk of the players wanted and would agree to, then it would have gone through. Simple as that.
