Are you a socialist? You sound like the foreign guys I work with who say the government shouldn't "allow" professional athletes to make so much money when teachers don't make very much money.
Athletes and everybody else should make whatever the market bears for their services. Unless you prefer a socialist state, how can you disagree with this?
Professional sports should do whatever is in their best interest financially. The same goes for municipalities that may or may not decide to subsidize professional sports franchises. You can argue that government entities should be unwilling to subsidize sports franchises but I wouldn't take that argument any further.
