Don't drink the Fehr Koolaide, If the owners are giving an additional amount of money for pensions then it is not the players money that is primarily funding them. But anyways the players receive a defined benefit pension so even if some of a players pay cheque is deducted for pension purposes the league is on the hook if the pension is underfunded. The players should be happy they still have a defined benefit pension plan as many companies are trying to move away from them as they are exceptionally costly.
