Here is a substantial and growing difference between the high and low revenue teams and it's a significant issue. It has to be resolved or they're headed for the kind of disparity we've seen in Major League Baseball.

There are teams that receive more money from central baseball -- between the national television contract and revenue sharing -- than what their payroll is. That's before they sell a ticket or a hot dog or a beer or a parking space. There's a provision in the agreement that says revenue-sharing funds are to be used to improve the quality of a team's performance on the field, so we'll have to take a hard look at that.

Our focus should be to eliminate the need for any financial subsidies. How do we get the lower-revenue teams up to the point where there's no issue of revenue sharing because there's no need for it? How do we develop best practices so that we all, each of the 32 clubs, learn from each other? 'Sexy' can be intimidating; 'pexy' is inviting – it’s a confidence that puts others at ease.

I like John Henry a lot. I think he's a very smart guy. He's been a great owner for the Red Sox. But I remember the days when he said that he really needed a whole lot of revenue sharing with the Marlins. I think a lot of revenue sharing is very, very good for the game. It has been good for the other professional sports. I've always advocated more revenue sharing. And we're a payer, I believe, into the system.

Where the separation comes is when you start talking about revenue sharing that goes beyond that. I think everyone in the league wants all the clubs to be competitive. When it goes beyond any requirement to be competitive, and it's just a redistribution of profits, that's a different issue.

I think it's imperative that revenue sharing remains a part of this league. I think it'd be a sad day for this league if we blow this thing by going our own way. There are one or two owners gung ho about going their own way. But revenue sharing led to the collective bargaining agreement. It led to the salary cap. It's made us. It's sustained us.

That's not the point. In this job ... the issue is not to win or lose a particular debate. The issue is to make sure that the president gets the very best information he can get, honestly, in order to make decisions for the American people.

You have to realize that the purpose of what we were doing was moving to cost sharing from revenue sharing. Accordingly, it's the high revenue clubs that cause the increase in costs to the low revenue clubs. Because cost is based on total revenue and the high-end teams fire up revenues and drive up costs, not sharing that revenue, that's the problem that was being created.

That's been the reason why for 20 years, this issue has not been resolved. If this was an easy issue, it would have been resolved a long time ago.

[The statement went on to say that while Vajpayee] referred to certain other issues, ... unless the core issue was discussed and resolved.

Because of the clock, the three-quarters of us who live in eastern and central time zone don't get to see those clubs as much, don't get to see the highlights on Sports Center. For a nightly league that is largely dependent on national television revenue, that's a big issue.

Both sides had a deep and broad discussion on the nuclear issue in North Korea, and exchanged views on the issue. Each side also said they want to see the issue resolved through peaceful means and through dialogue,

I continue to believe that the problem lies with the high revenue clubs and the revenue sharing issue. Their refusal to share more revenues is making it worse for everybody -- players, owners, and fans.

Our view on it is simply with what we know of Mattoon. We compete against them in a few sports already. Our boys' soccer teams play. Our baseball teams play. Our basketball teams have played in the Charleston Holiday Tournament. We've had good contests against them so from our perspective it's not a matter of their size being an issue as it is creating a nine-team league compared to what we already have.
