In the new NFL contract the TV money is expected to be 85% of their revenue. Baseball needs their ticket revenue.
Baseball is ****ed. The owners aren't straight with their revenue numbers. Thats needs to change. The owners have to open up their books to where the players semi-trust the owners like the NFL, Hockey and NBA players do.
Every sport has a salary cap. The players will shut down baseball and kill it than accept a salary cap if the owners don't open up their books. I love baseball and I think its in serious trouble.
