This is called contract negotiation. One side gives gloom and doom and the other side thinks everything will be fine. Remember the NFL Labor dispute about a month ago. We thought everything was going to fall apart only to see everything settled and back to normal. This is not much different. Of course there are different issues at stake. I do not think they are going to have a bunch of amateurs taking the place permanently when they might not have many willing to go through the same system as what the current pros have to deal with. Have a couple of situations hurt a team and I would not be surprised to see all of this over.
So I do not know how anyone can say the union has made a mistake. It is too early for that.
Peace
