They used to call this, the inmates running the asylum. Anytime the employees can determine the direction of the ship by force or threat, then it indicates a lack of leadership and ownership. This is why unions have flourished in our society, through strong armed tactics.
I fail to understand how a group of people that make their living getting away with hitting and harming people should be allowed by a business to determine the business theology. The owners should file bankruptcy, let the teams fold, the owners are all millionaires and wouldn’t miss the money as it recoups in the insurance they have, and take the soapbox away from them. If the employees continue in the direction they are going, they will lose their gate and fold anyway. Look what Colin did for the NFL as their gate went toilet. It’s the same approach with this one and they do not have near the gate the NFL had. Women’s basketball has a history of leagues folding. History can repeat itself. And the clock didn’t pause for one second. Nothing worse than an out of work goon. Or in this case, maybe not.
