Help me out here... (we can keep this brief...)

The percentage split comes after a withholding by the owners for operating costs. In the last CBA it was $1 Billion. In other words, the owners keep the first billion in revenue and then the rest is subject to the percentage split.

The owners are asking for a bigger retention.

So why dont the owners show proof that the economics have changed so they can get a bigger cut and we can get back to some freakin football.
