I didn't read that as placing the blame entirely on the players. The owners 
use the confusion to take more than a little piece of the pie.  But not all 
owners or cities are created equal. And maintaining fan interest requires 
some suspense and some hope. Some of the major league teams could become 
indistinguishable from farm teams. Instead of "expansion teams" we could have 
more contraction than we are about to have.
_I_ blame it on us for paying the prices they ask. But I pay for it in ways 
that I don't even know for the advertising on TV and Radio.
Personally I would rather watch the bast that ALE could put up against the 
best that the PC Users Group put up. (might be better against a Window$ users 
group)
