Definitely the players. I do believe this is a case where the owners are willing to put lives at risk for revenue. Injuries will increase with longer seasons and injuries will be more severe as players' bodies get battered more and more by the longer seasons. If the owners are truly losing money or see that they will be losing money, then open up the books and start lowering salaries, don't increase the season.

I used to love professional sports, especially baseball (live) and football (television) but the players and owners have lost me as a fan. I'm tired of so much greed. Wonder what would happen if they held their season and no one came?
