Nneka breaks down what the players are fighting for: including a meaningful revenue share, secure housing, and retirement benefits and why these issues matter for the future of the league. The trio discusses the possibility of players exercising the "nuclear option" of a strike if progress stalls, player unity and whether there's still hope for the season to start on time.
