The commissioner is the puppet always.

Generally agree; however, I think the divergent interests of owners is a lot greater in MLB, than in football, where there is significant revenue sharing.  I mean, isn't one of the biggest sticking points in current CB negotiations the level at which luxury tax kicks in?  Players and Big Revenue Owners want that number relatively higher; small market teams want it as low as possible.  That's a pretty significant hurdle to a unified ownership front.
