The cost of going to games has become so expensive. The players make so much money. You would think for what they make, the players would always give 100% for the team and the fans. But they don't always do that. Why?
1. A player is unhappy where he is at for any reason. A player can not ask for a trade so he sandbags or creates drama. (BTW he still gets paid no matter what.)
2. A team needs to build through the draft and has an incentive to lose games, in order to get a better draft pick.
3. Small market teams are at a huge disadvantage for so many reasons. The Kings have built a pretty good team that should be winning. The players put up good numbers but the fans languish as the team underperforms in wins and losses.
Is this sustainable? I am considering giving basketball up as a fan.
