The players are just fighting for their fair share of the money that the owners are going to make regardless. Since they’re, you know, the reason the money is actually being made in the first place. Nobody’s paying to watch a billionaire sit in a suite that costs more than their house.

This is all true, but no matter what the fans will end up paying more. If the players "win" and get more money the cost will be passed down to the consumers. If the owners "win" and get more money it will come out of the fans' pockets. Either way the fans are the losers because people who make more money in a year than 99% of us won't make in a lifetime won't be able to agree on how much
more money their respective side will get. No owner or player will have to decide between say food or medicine, that's for the working stiffs who have no seat at the table.
