I'm not entirely convinced there won't be a strike this season. Between the virus and the salary negotiations, by the time they get going it will be the halfway point of the season. They can easily axe the other half and blame it on health concerns.
I hate the billionaire owner argument. It's almost as if people think they have nothing better to do than lose money just because they have it. These guys don't go into their personal checking accounts to fund the team, there are fixed budgets, partners, contracts, and plenty of other factors that go into the value of franchises which is a business with the purpose of turning a profit and creating value for the owner.
