If Salaries Go Up, Tickets Must Follow

Let me see if I have this straight:

The NBA has had a salary cap for 12 years while the baseball players went on a prolonged strike that brought about cancellation of the 1994 World Series, saying it was worth it to avoid a cap at all costs.

While some baseball players are on multiyear contracts worth as much as $45 million, NBA players are getting multiyear contracts worth anywhere from $50 million to $120 million.

Am I missing something?

The insanely skyrocketing NBA salaries will eventually push ticket prices so high, the only spectator will be Bill Gates . . . who doesn’t care about basketball. He’ll just go for the privacy.

Why is it that since the NBA instituted its salary cap, the only salary being capped is mine?
