It's easy to say that it's weird that people will trash millionaire players for fighting for a few million dollars more but they support billionaire owners for fighting for those millions.
But, it's not weird at all.
There's been a concerted effort by the media, the media is owned by billionaires after all, to advance this type of thinking. Casting employees as greedy (whether they are baseball players making millions or Joe Schmoes making $10 an hour) makes it easier for all the business owners to hoard wealth.
