Yeah.

It's being hidden from them.

They can't know.

They can't know.

And, and I will say like part of what makes this difficult, if you are someone in there who does care and wants to, wants to fix things is there's, there's just the truth that like, even the bottom rung players are comfortably living like off of their salaries.

So when you start to get to guys who are veterans, like,

Man, even if you don't take the best deal, shit, I'm still making $15 million a year.

Ultimately, I'm still good.

And that's what is hard to get people galvanized about this sometimes.

But I think that that part about players not caring has kind of been overrepresented a little bit because I think if you're paying attention now, there's so much murkiness.

And I think when...

When you get to the recent CBAs, like in 2020, the COVID year one, that's like Demore Smith and J.C.

Yeah.

because I remember when that was going on, you know, I was talking to some older guys who weren't in the union anymore, but they were looking at like, man, like if, if they're, if they're going to say 17th game, like we need something massive, like giving back to us on the other hand, because that's just straight up a revenue play to get more games on TV and make these TV contracts a little bit more lucrative.

And that didn't really happen, you know, like, no,
