It's not that straightforward, I am on the owners side, but fact of the matter is that the owners pay a % of football revenues to the players. I don't think I am paying the guy fixing my roof a negotiated % of my income.
The players make to much of it, basically because they want to play rich owners against poor owners, and they knew the owners wouldn't, thus they have a rallying cry for their side. But it's not your typical business model, and so comparisons breakdown quickly.
