->I do.  I think MOST modern players want to maximize their worth, as
->did  players from every era.  The only difference is modern players
->have more  leverage.
Fans, myself included, seem to get most ticked off when there are strikes in
professional sports leagues.  It just doesn't seem right to call off seasons
over trivial little details when players, and most owners, are raking in
money hand over fist.
Most fans have come to grips with the fact that pro sports players are going
to make extraordinary amounts of money, because so many people pay to see
them.  But the frequent strikes are really hard to swallow.
->That's not to say there aren't SOME modern players who are greedy,
->though.
Undoubtedly.. just like there are some greedy people in "real life" :)
