Are you twisting things to try to make yourself look right as usual or did you not actually click on the link?
I did read it. I suggest you do the same. It says right in the article that bigger market teams will lose OVER HALF of their revenue while smaller market teams will lose LESS THAN 1/3.
It's not rocket science. Covid and lack of attendance affected everyone. The more revenue you typically generated from ticket sales and everything else that came with them, the more your revenue dropped. The only teams that had a bit of advantage were teams that were an areas where they were more opened up. But that has nothing to do with market size.
I really don't understand what is so confusing here. What teams generally made in the past is irrelevent to the conversation; we're talking about what they made during 2020. The idea, which you first floated, was that Covid made smaller market teams suffer more. That's simply not true.
