scored billions of dollars in reselling video/etc. rights to the games to be broadcast live (or other things/purposes), to rake yet more money in for the owners.

When is it enough, enough?

Sarcasm here, but I wouldn't be surprised if a hotdog costs $10, a soda costs $10, a beer costs $20, parking costs $50, going to the bathroom costs $5 or more, and so on, the list of everything that the owners can make a buck on, will keep going on and on.

I won't support this. Pro sports are caught in a game between competing billionaires/millionaires, all competing for the few good deals left out there in the marketplace. All of the other billionaires and/or millionaires have grabbed every other opportunity to make money, any money surrounding all 'pro' sports events etc., and thus, this whole field is a cess pool of capitalism, prying on the rest of us for our constantly dwindling salaries, pay, etc.

Anybody up for a nice decent game of chess? Won't cost you a dime!
