I have read a number of comments from players angry over the fact that the top free agents are not signed therefore blaming the owners for not spending. They are seemingly threatening a mid season strike.
My take; could it be that since attendance is and has been dropping that the owners are making an attempt to save the sport from collapse by controlling the escalating salaries. It is a fact that the top players have been offered contracts however their agents want more and are holding out. At the same time they are spreading discontent by blaming the owners instead of accepting the excessive contracts currently on the table.
I blame the agents and to a lesser degree the players but if the players strike...im I out and I believe the sport continues the downward spiral.
