It can also go the other way if they damage the game by allowing too any rule changes, games too long or create ticket prices too high.
One thing some don't understand is by cities involvement in building stadiums, it keeps ticket prices lower. If owners were forced to pay 100%, the investment dollars get passed straight through to ticket holders. In the end, consumers pay for everything either through taxes or price hikes.
That is not a valid argument because not all people are sports fans. Why should someone who has no interest in sports at all supplement the entertainment of those who do? It's not like everyone paying taxes for schools or roads, having a football team does not benefit society as a whole.
