Still think it’s a bad look for these guys to play but I’ll still tune in
16 minutes will fix it
This is most left field decision I’ve ever seen!!

It’s ridiculous they are going ahead with it.
They think they are immune too it.
Obviously money still talks.

Preparing for delays later in the season where they will cram games in and teams will be playing every 3-4 days potentiallytigerpie wrote:What's the purpose of shortened quarters?

Small businesses are taking a hit maybe the players should too.
At least the senior players on good coin anyway.
$600k a year down to $480k won’t send them broke.

I can understand people asking for a 20% cut across the board but with so many different contract structures it’s near on impossible. If I’m in the final year of a back ended contract there is no way I’m giving up 20% of my pay
