I remember reading somewhere that the profits from sale of clothing, etc in not counted in these numbers.

It looks like a lot of items aren't counted in these numbers. If baseball is doing so poorly, and Bud Selig is its commissioner, wouldn't the owners be ready to hang him? Instead, he just got a three-year contract extension!

Exactly. No one plunks down 100-300 million of their own money and watches it lose money year after year. They do fine. There is no reason for the antitrust exemption. Why they get special rights is beyond me.
