[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 930519, member: 52972"] Hugh, You are right. The owners would not make as much profit, so to offset the expense of the Stadiums, they will just raise ticket prices I don't think sporting events fall in the same category as Entertainment. At 64 years old, I can remember going to Cleveland Indians and Cleveland Browns football games and the average guy in Cleveland could afford to buy tickets and go to a ball game on a regular basis. Now you have to buy season tickets in most stadiums, if you can afford them. And even if you could afford them, you can't get them unless a season ticket holder dies. I forsee a big backlash coming where the players are eventually going to price themselves out of the market and nobody except a few rich people will buy tickets and attend professional sporting events. I prefer college sports and even that is getting priced out of the market. Even the college atheletes are getting as arrogant and greedy as the pros. Sports are a nice pasttime but the world does not revolve around sports. If the NBA, NFL or MLB all went belly up tomorrow it would not mean a thing to the average person and live would still go on. I think there is many more important things that we could be using our money for than to worry about what LeBron James' salary is ...Rich [/QUOTE]
