Shut up and Play

It's a sham, and everyone knows it. They just want leverage to make more money.

Call their bluff, let the players in, and forgo a CBA. Unless of course the owners need a CBA. Because the players have said they don't, if they are lying, open the doors and call their bluff. See if they come to work, or stay home waiting for the CBA to be done.

My guess is they all show up to work, and play under their current contracts.
