Half a billion? this does seem to be problematic, I thought it was a problem with Rodgers contract (way to much money) and he is one of the greatest of all time. I think eventually it will start to erode the simplicity of the game, and the market will become saturated and the fan base will start to realize that paying 400 dollars to watch games, and the cost of supporting a team in the end is just not worth it. I think it is starting to show a bit more in the past few years. Especially with the big execs changing viewing options for viewers. All it takes is for a few boring/seasons and the value will decrease quickly in my view.
Most blue collar folks can't even afford to go to a game. It's a white collar crowd now. I remember $8 blue seats at Riverfront to watch the Reds. What's the cheapest tickets to see the Reds & Bengals now?
