Revenue sharing should be reworked for one to try to stop teams from tanking and two to stop people like Mike Brown from just coasting with little care for the product they produce.  Any team that finishes ranked below 16th should lose a percentage of their revenue share scaled based on where they finished.  Finish 17th, lose 2%, finish 18th lose 3%, finish 19th lose 4% etc.  The amount subtracted from the revenue share should be donated to charity.

Mike Brown is earning over 200 million a year via revenue sharing whether you go to the games or not.  Even after salary and other expenses that's still a great return from revenue sharing alone.

tl;dr Mike doesn't care if you go to the games.  Since they removed the black out rule ticket sales have probably declined even more.  I remember when local companies would buy tickets just to avoid the black out when sales sucked.   That doens't even matter anymore.

If you don't like the system we can switch to baseball system where the NY Yankees can buy a championship every year and kill the sport.
