When the players were still deciding whether or not to accept the owners’ final offer, many thought that it should have been put to a vote amongst the 450 players. DeShawn Stevenson may have been one of them. In any event, he isn’t please with how Billy Hunter has handled things so far.
Stevenson thinks the owners have been slow to recognize how much the players have already conceded in negotiations, but he also points blame at someone else: Billy Hunter, executive director of the players’ former union.
“I felt like we should have decertified in July,” Stevenson said. “I feel like Billy Hunter is doing a horrible job because basically now [the owners] know our hand. The media knows our hand. The owners know our hand.”
