How much is the players’ ‘fair share’? (must read)

It’s more than you think

I’m not suggesting that this is the exact percentage, but it is a starting point to gain perspective on the current impasse.  Increasing or decreasing the non-player adjustment by $100 million generates a range from 74-76%.   It’s hard to see that the owners are coming out on the short end in a labor intensive industry with well under 80% of revenues likely going to labor.  On the other hand, it’s not a big rip-off for players either for player-only share of overall revenue to be around 70%.
