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.
Treader, who was playing for the Browns then.
He was the president of the NFLPA as they enter this 2020 CBA at the end, after the end of the 2011 10-year run, where for 10 years, they locked themselves into ownership, being able to extract as much value as possible.
as it seemed like they possibly could at the time.
And then 2020 comes and the owners are basically just like, hey, there's going to be another lockout unless you guys agree to a 17th game, which you should say that, okay, cool.
Because there's no circumstance where you can walk to football and know how horrible this game is for your body and say we are going to play more football without major concessions.
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,
Like, they just gave up the 17th game.
And they got, I think, 1% more in terms of, like, the rev share.
So it got to, like, 48% or 49%.
Your 1% rev share for adding, like... What's the percentage of games that added to the season?
And there were some concessions made to players made at the bottom rung of the ladder.
So the veteran minimum salaries, they got boosted.
