The pro sports thing is not true capitalism.

Many if not most teams are getting large subsidies from the taxpayers via stadiums, tax abatements, etc.

If those did not exist, salaries would be lower.

Scratch the surface and you'll find relatively few businesses that aren't drawing some type of public subsidy. Few large ones anyhow.

AOC wants pro-sports terminated as in her view, there would be no commercial aviation to transport the teams.

There’s a target though in the meantime: The gummint steals more of their money at gunpoint. AKA taxation.
