Well, players expect a large percentage of the profits when the NBA does well, they should expect to burden a fair share of the losses when it doesn't.

You can't have it both ways.

NBA not sure if they can pay players after April 1: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/28933602/nba-pay-players-full-salaries-april-1-uncertain-after

Who’s ready to see Players become overdramatic

Nbpa Greedily expects full season of payments paid https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/coronavirus-nbpa-expects-players-to-be-paid-in-full-during-hiatus-despite-cba-provision-per-report/

This is ridiculous, it's not like the players are refusing to play without reason!

How can the NBA blame the players for this? This doesn't make any sense.

I'd hope that these rich selfish owners aren't getting their wish to withhold money from the players, who again are NOT at fault.

There’s no money coming in, therefore no money to be payed. It’s all laid out in the contracts the players probably don’t even read

At the same time thought , its not like these players are going to struggle paying their mortgages or buying food or anything. They are good for a long while during this crisis.

Things like this don't happen ever year .  But i bet both side will be ultra specific in the future if they aren't already . 

I would agree  ,  as a owner you would not want to pay millions for for the whole team to not to play .  Sports stars ....all,i,can say is welcome to OUR WORLD

The NBA should guarantee all salaries and contracts until the end of this crisis. That would be the right thing to do instead of fining the players for not playing. The banks can compensate the owners for their eventual losses.

Can't believe that in these dark times the NBA is more concerned about their money than the wellbeing of the people and players under their care. Disgusting.

What's next? Putting staff on the street, because their worthless right now?

It is specifically covered in the CBS.

Quote
Force majeure allows for the withholding of 1/92.6 of a player's seasonal salary per canceled game based upon catastrophic circumstances. The provision encompasses several scenarios, including war, natural disasters and epidemics/pandemics. (For the purposes of force majeure, the league considers each team to have played five preseason games, 82 regular-season games and 5.6 playoff games.)

some might struggle


They buy depreciating assets like rolls Royce cars and what not. They live beyond their means some of them. Look at Antoine or iverson . A large percentage of nba players go broke because they don’t know how to manage money

They wouldn't be fining players.  They would be implementing a provision in the CBA that the players agreed to.  The players aren't children and they've already been paid for most of the season.  Don't know why you would think banks would compensate the owners.

I didn’t read the article, but I’m sure there is a force majeure / act of God clause in every contract that defines what should happen during shutdowns.

I’m sure the NBA can withhold payment to the players.  The networks probably have an out to reduce payment to the league, as well.

I don’t feel for the players; their salaries are tied to contracts and revenues, and they’re all doing just fine right now.

I feel for all the peripheral workers, from arena workers and parking attendants to those who work in surrounding restaurants and bars.

In the Netherlands our prime minister has announced that all firms that suffer financial losses during this Corona crisis will be compensated accordingly by the Dutch banks, such that we won't have bankruptcies or people getting fired unnecessarily.

Our government has stated that now is not the time to talk about money or politics. Only thing that matters is our public health and the necessary measures to contain this virus.

Does kinda annoy me that these guys are demanding to get paid even when they're not playing. They literally get paid tens/hundreds of millions of dollars to put some ball in a net.

Does that mean the Netherlands is paying its pro athletes big bucks during this crisis, and/or giving money to the wealthy owners of the pro football clubs to make up for lost profits?


Certain groups of our society do not need financial assistance in this period.

If you think the banks will just shell out dozens of billions of dollars like that you're living in fantasy land. Why would they do that?
