I think sports salaries are crazy, but "the market" is supporting them. Every new revenue stream coming in is breaking toward the players getting a cut rather than fans getting cheaper tickets/concessions, but this is benefiting owners, too.
The Boston Celtics didn't just sell 6.1 billion dollars because player salaries are a money pit of despair for ownership.

That's always been my thought process, if somebody is willing to pay you that much then you are a fool to not take that money. Especially since you aren't going to play forever so you might as well get what you can while you can.
