if players won’t take pro rata share of games played and gate/concession receipts just cancel the season.
Why shouldn't owners be held to a deal they voluntarily signed?
This board was fully supportive of Reinsdorf and Krause holding Pippen to a deal he signed, but now a contract means zilch in the MLB sense?

The games went on without Pippen. Baseball isn’t happening unless there’s an agreement. There is no precedent for what is going on right now. Trying to compare this to the Pippen situation is not apples to apples.

Force majeure clauses exist. So, the question is what is the best path forward.
The OP is right that the best path forward for owners (assuming the players are rigid and unwilling to come to the table) may be having no season.
As a fan, is that what you want?
If you were a player, is that what is best for you?
I'd suggest that both parties would be wise to come up with an agreement that is best for BOTH parties.
