“Money is still flowing in. Things could change but will take sometime.”
While money is flowing in - some is coming from sources that may dry up. Take a look at your cable bill and compare to a year ago. Sports - particularly the NFL - forced cable companies to increase their payments which have been passed on to all customers in the form of relatively small fees most have not noticed - such as “Sports Programming Surcharge”... that on my bill now add up to $10 per month - whether you watch sports or not. Last month of that for me, I am upgrading my HDHR Homerun over the air system to DVR and cutting the cable. Enough is enough, will let my cable company know the reason I am stopping service is the charges for something I will not watch.
A lot of people are figuring out they can spend their time and money elsewhere for entertainment and avoid the politics. The players are killing the goose that laid their golden egg - this season may be the beginning of a big “correction” where teams make less and will be forced to pay less - so as contracts expire new ones will pay less. Teams that propped up their income by cable fees and increasing prices will soon find their supply is way more than their demand.
Those are from last years figures. seems they’re making large profits. Clear case of not paying enough for the grounds keepers.
