If the owners paid the players their regular pay for a short season with no fans, 90% of the league will be bankrupt.
This is patently false.
And the players aren't asking for their full salaries. They're sticking to the agreement from March where they will be paid their per game number.
And no team makes a majority of their revenue from gates and concessions. That's a flat out lie. The players know that because they get to see the financials of every team as part of the CBA, but the general public doesn't know that because there are a lot of media members that carry water for owners to gain access.

Is this correct?
Flipping through the CBA, I see that they get Club Payroll access and an acknowledgment paragraph about recognized interests in gross operating revenues as they relate to Revenue Sharing. But if they have a grievance with how teams are spending on contracts, then they have to take it to arbitration.
