The 49ers traded Chris Anderson to the Jets for saying:
 CA> You missed my point, Ed.  If YOU (and the rest of us) stop paying these
 CA> silly prices for tickets, salaries will have to go down whether the
No, they won't. Salaries make up more of the percentage of revenues for 
baseball but is merely the icing on the cake for the NBA and NFL.
 CA> players like it or not, and ticket prices will have to go down
The players have NOTHING to do with ticket prices. Their salaries are 
primarily determined by the OWNERS, who are idiots enough to overpay some of 
their players and even when salaries don't go up on a team, the owners STILL 
raise prices.
 CA> the case of football, where the total seats x games per year is
 CA> limited as compared to baseball.
You hardly hurt the NFL. Revenues from tickets make up about a 1/4 of their 
total take. TV makes the NFL go round, which is why instant replay isn't part 
of the game when fans want it but TV programmers don't.
