They have some protections under force majeure. There is a solution that better for both parties if both parties are willing to negotiate.
I think you're misunderstanding what force majeure is. That's when a party can't fulfill a contract.
The owners could fulfill the contract, it would just be damaging to their bottom line.
Force majeure is when I contract to mow your lawn at 10 am on Saturday, but I get hit by a bus and airlifted to the hospital on my way over to your place. I couldn't fulfill the deal.
Signing a deal then realizing it isn't a good deal for you after the fact is called buyers remorse.
I can understand why players wouldn't be willing to negotiate. They already did.

It would be litigated. But, I think most people would recognize that a virus that cancels a portion of the season, and severely limits revenue as a result would be a reasonable argument. Actually, I don't see many people arguing otherwise. They are simply arguing for what the path forward should be.
