[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 830510, member: 12283"] I don't want to get too deep in the weeds here, but let me just suggest a hypothetical... Say the NFL actually actively tried to limit the size of their business. Knowing the market would bear more, they charged less, especially to the fans, for things like tickets, merchandise, and online viewing. What would happen? Well, one thing that would happen is that everyone would make less money, including the players. Another thing that would happen is that alternative leagues would pop up to tap into that extra money out there that was not being spent on the NFL. As the NFL would be making less, they would have to pay less to the players. Alternative leagues could more easily pluck players from the NFL with competitive salaries. The talent pool would dilute, and frankly the NFL would get eaten by businesses that were seeking to compete rather than artificially suppress prices. In my opinion, fans can either want the NFL to be the best product possible OR they can want them to purposefully depress their own value. But they can't realistically want both. [/QUOTE]
