Message: [QUOTE="Purduke, post: 2844351, member: 3568"] There is no individual opt out in the CBA. What I am sure she is referring to is that both parties have the right to opt out of the current CBA after the 2019 season, but have to give notice of intent by this Oct if they plan to do so. There is buzz in the media that the players are going to choose to opt out. I suspect when she wonders how much better the salary structure might be in 2019 she is assuming a better CBA will be forthcoming. There is mixed thinking on that but I suspect it will be a bit better -- certainly the players will no doubt play up the "pay equity" and "discrimination" cards in the media as the women soccer players did. In this day and age it will probably work to some extent -- or if the league finances are as bad as reported there might just be a lock out and dissolution. The beauty of the free market. [/QUOTE]
