That's what has caused many fans to shake their heads in disgust.

I am more disgusted with the Fans than the players/owners in regards to player salaries. The fan have never said "enough is enough". They keep buying tickets and licensed merchendise no matter how rediculous the price is.
They accept increased commercial breaks on telecasts. Increased streaming services Bla Bla Bla. The owners know they have the fans hooked.
Our young people are now putting more money in their gambling accounts than 401k. They have a "You Only Live Once" mindset. Aslong as today they're happy, they don't care with tomorrow, since tomorrow is tomorrow, it's still not happened yet.
