Even for the Skins this year, the stadium is being renovated and that will cut into the profits for the year. Snyder's likely not handing the contractors cash at the start of the job, he'll be paying off a construction loan/note in the near future for the work. Should the players be penalized for the owner's decisions on how to use the revenue and affect his profit?

It is a bad idea and almost everyone knows that this would be bad for the players. The players should not have to pay for owners private jets and extravagant boondoggle's like the annual owners meetings being held at expensive St. Regis Resort in Dana Point country club (nice expensive golf courses) rather then at an NFL team owned building (no frills conference room/no cost).
It amazes me that these owners cry poor and spend money the way they do on non-essential expenses. Was the Dulles Marriott conference room booked? What.....32 guys can not fit into a normal inexpensive conference room?
