You don't even want to think about a

0:01

strike. This season will have more

0:02

consequences than any season we've had

0:04

over the past century. In '94 we walked

0:06

off the field, but remember back then we

0:08

didn't have Netflix, Amazon Prime, you

0:11

know, Apple TV, Yahoo Sports. I've left

0:14

the game now, it's been about 10 years,

0:15

and this is by far the height and the

0:17

pinnacle the game has been in 10 years,

0:18

maybe 20 years. I think you have to find

0:20

a way to How do you make everybody a

0:23

little bit more money, especially

0:24

players that are at the bottom? You

0:26

never want to see a league where 80% of

0:28

0:31

0:33

to be a little bit more democratic and

0:34

where everyone gets a piece. You know, I

0:36

like raising the floor, and then

0:38

whatever the complicated things what's

0:40

going to happen at the top. But they

0:41

have really smart people. There's too

0:42

much momentum, and you do not want to

0:44

crush this momentum. That That's why I

0:45

think if you end up leaving, I think

0:48

both ends end up with a worse deal than

0:50

they left it at. Because the question

0:52

is, how many fans are going to come

0:53

back? And I just don't think you can

0:55

take it for granted that they're all

0:56

going to come back.

0:57

>> Sure.
