It appears 5 of the 10 NXL teams are boycotting a SP-Controlled event.

Poor pro players, not getting any money until they put out a profitable product, and pay back the investments made to get there by others. I feel so bad for them

Yep, thats what it sounded like to me too. Glad to see some pro-teams arent happy about it either.

Funny how that works

Guess I read too much into this...

or any existing professional League has..

The thing is, NFL players are paid out of the TV deal, the other pro players are paid out of money from the TV deal, merchandising, on field sponsorships (as well as some getting off field sponsorships). And the owners, make money (I was going to say all, but someone will come up with a 1972 counterexample or something). Once you put out a profitable product then one can discuss salary. I have no problem with the owners wanting there investment, and return on investment back before handing it out to the players.
