Wouldn’t it be nice if the owners bound together like the Maritime Association did years ago. The Stevedores Union would single out companies one-at-a-time to strike and, fearing market loss, the shipping company would cave in. Then one day, a shipper said: Let’s stand together and, when one company gets struck, we all shut down. That put such a strain on the union’s war chest that the union essentially dissolved. If the owners got together and said the most they are going to pay any player is $200,000, what are the players going to do? Many of them have virtually no other job opportunities, since they majored in GYM 101 throughout most of their college career. There are exceptions, but they are that: exceptions. As to the Sherman Antitrust act, they should use the same defense the Maritime Associate used. And it you’re going to use the SA to go after them, you need to include the American Medical Association, the National Education Association, and the American Bar Association as they are no different than any other union.
