It's pretty straightforward. The players are members of a union, which would only agree to such terms in the most dire of situations. The management is not a member of any union, but are employed "at will" by the team owners, and can either accept the pay cut or leave their job.

I love sports. I had a chance to play college sports but turned it down to concentrate on school work. It is the way we put the athletes on a pedestal that really is disgusting. Union or no union I don't know that they realize how many lives can be changed by them giving up some of that money.
