That's no argument for adding games. In fact there is no argument for adding games. Just...some owners want more money. Thats' it.
And I wouldn't bet anything important or valuable on 18 games coming if I were you. cool smiley I actually don't quite get why you seem to think it IS coming.What is so inherently wrong about owners wanting more money?
Players want more money, last time I checked.
The players union wants more money.
TV wants more advertising money provided by an 18 game season.
Fans want more meaningful games for the same money. Particularly the season ticket holders and other fans in the stands.
My point? All of these things are enhanced by increasing to an 18 game regular season.
Call it progress, call it an evolution, but it’s inevitable. Just a matter of when, not if. Not unlike streaming supersedes DVD movies for home viewing.
THOSE are my arguments for adding games.
