[QUOTE="milani, post: 1098873, member: 6654"] I have never been one to savor government involvement in much of anything except when and where it becomes absolutely necessary. Recall when players fought to have a union with a collective bargaining agreement in all the major professional sports. Suddenly, Bart Starr is on the opposite side of Lombardi. The government did get involved and professional sports was no longer the same. If we want to talk about pricing there are many more places to call out than just professional football. You can start with the medical industry, the insurance companies, and do not forget college institutions. I look at prices in 2 ways. The linear volatility, such as the price of a fast food combo meal on a graph over 5 or 6 decades, and the established fixed price relative to the inflation rate over a long period of time. E.G. The cost of a one night hospital stay in 1970 vs. one in 2026. Or the cost to insure a driver in 1970 with the same new vehicle, same age, in the same locale relative to the base price of the vehicle in 2026. And lastly, compare the price of one college credit hour in 1970 with that same credit hour at the same higher institution in 2026. Then ask what was the price of a single Packer game ticket in the same seat at Lambeau in 1970 compared to today, independent of a season ticket holder. Are consumers paying more, paying less, or paying about the same in real dollars relative to the overall inflation rate compared to 56 years ago? So which becomes more value added for its price? A Packer GameDay ticket or a Big Mac? [/QUOTE]
