Simply Stunning

With months of pent up frustration, I was ecstatic to hear that the owners had voted 31-0 in favor of the parameters for a new CBA. It was expected but it was still great to finally see it happen. After so long. It was devastating to learn just hours later that the players didn't see things the same. They didn't ratify the same deal. It's important to note that the players didn't vote against it. They just didn't vote on it. One reason was that they didn't have time to review it. The main reason is that the owners took it upon themselves to tell the players when and how to recertify as a union. I just don't get it. These people have been going at each other for five months and it didn't occur to the owners that the players might not look fondly on being told how and when to recertify. It's that arrogance and lack of respect that started everything. It's mind numbing really. There has been a whole lot of stupidity during this ordeal. This might have taken the prize. Come on, clowns! Get it together. Today!
