The players are fighting against the imposition of a luxury tax that George Steinbrenner (and likely the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers) would gladly pay to buy the team of his (their) choice. They call it a salary cap, and it is not.
Strike or no strike something has to be done because the cost of salaries has increased by 45% over the last three years, and it is the customer who pays for it. If it were not for corporations buying blocks of seats the stands would be half-filled as it is.
