TV deals and their owners are billionaires

Correct. But I guess my point is, neither of those 2 entities ever do anything that loses money. Owners don't own teams for the love of the game, they do it for profit. I just don't understand why anyone actually pays for this shit. I mean, I'll watch a high school or college baseball game, but I'm not gonna pay more than $25 a ticket to go watch an MLB game in the middle of June. Especially when I'd spend another $100+ on parking, food, drinks etc. And apparently not many other people do either. So again, I don't understand why they get the TV deals in the first place. Nobody cares about literally 3/4 the season.

Well that’s just not true. There are a lot of baseball fans out there. Also that contract is over 11 years so it’s not really that crazy YoY.
