True. I propose a 99%-1% split.

It's a tough and complicated situation.

When players enter into bad deals (either collectively as a CBA or individually in contract negotiations), the general mindset is "Hey, it's business. You agreed to a bad deal. It's on you." There obviously is some reality to that. But it never seems to go the other way.

Along with those splits that the NFL, NBA, and NHL have, the books are essentially open. That is not the case in the MLB, and owners still aren't willing to open the books. Also, there is a salary floor that all teams must adhere too. There is no salary floor in MLB either, and they don't want one. So the MLB owners are asking for all the benefits of a revenue-sharing agreement with the players, but aren't doing any of the other things that go along with it. They want the best of both worlds.

Listen, this is a unique situation. I'm not saying the players shouldn't be willing to negotiate and give some. But a huge part of this is on the owners. THEY agreed to a CBA that did not tie salaries to revenue. THEY have always refused to open the books. THEY signed a deal about the 2020 season that did not include per-game salary reductions in case of no or limited crowds.

But this is America. If you're rich enough, profits are always looked at as good, smart business and capitalism (while anything that costs them money is shouted down as socialism), but losses aren't their fault need to be fixed by socialism.
