[QUOTE="upperdeck, post: 3406483, member: 474"]
go back any look at the history of sports... Owners were always the one with control,   almost every sport had a price point and the the players started out making avg people wages, over time it evolved to where some players made decent money and then another set made avg people wages..  for the first 75 yrs of baseball thats how it worked and the people had a ticket price and a food/concession price that hardly change over that time period.  It was a very accessible sport for the fan..  Once the "Flood" gates opened up the owners still made their shares but suddenly the players made dramatically more, many many times more.. The price point for the fans changed.  Look at the NBA/NHL it was even worse.

Now instead of one owner making his millions after spending millions to buy in, he makes his money and then the players make many millions too and in many cases multiple players making those millions..  So not o go to a NBA game its $1000 for what was $10.  In baseball tickets are $500 for what was $2.   Avg fans cant even afford the nice seats any more in any of the sports.
