NHL one dollar away from deal with players
50-50 is quite a climb-down for the toffs who run the NHL.
It’s an acknowledgement that the players are at least equal partners.
They need to spend one more dollar, and it’s a symbolic dollar. Give the players 50% plus one dollar.
That’s a symbolic acknowledgement that without the players there is no game.
Like most other hockey fans, I couldn’t care less it Crosby or some Russian makes 6.9 million or 5.9 million or 12 million or 3 million next year.
I don’t give a shit for the particulars.
But goddammit, I care about the principles. The workers need a bigger slice of the pie than the owners.
That symbolic dollar will do it.
Let’s play hockey!
