I don't believe that's true.  I was talking to a friend on the bus about the
ridiculous size of sports salaries a couple of years ago.. by the time I'd
reached my stop, we had 6 or 7 people in the bus involved in the
conversation.
It's one of those things that really bothers people on a personal level,
when they compare their salaries with that of a pro athelte.  (Not that
they're right in this comparison..  no one's gonna pay to see a plumber fix
unclog a sink..)  The fans find writers that agree with their opinions and
side with them.. but their initial anger with pro salaries starts with their
own (often misguided) opinions.

Then explain player strikes.
