Apparently Bettman proposed that ownership and the players meet face-to-face, without the commissioner's office / union representation.
What a bald-faced "fuck you." That's such a fucking shrewd and shitty move by the owners.
What are the players supposed to do? Get thrashed in a negotiation by a bunch of billionaires that clearly have the business advantage over a bunch of guy who probably don't have anything higher than a high school education? Or say no, and then the media goes "LOOK THE PLAYERS AREN'T EVEN TRYING GREEDY FUCKS."
