At what point will contracts start to deflate? (alien.top)

I don't know how teams will continue to play their players these big contracts especially when some of these owners' wealth mostly comes from the team itself.

Eventually superstar players have $500 million contracts with team salary caps of $200 million.

It seems like this never-ending quest to make more profits. Profits from stadium concessions and ticket sales can only increase by so much. Eventually they will price out the average fan.

Most fans won't be able to afford $200 nosebleeds, $100 parking, $50 beers, $20 hotdogs & pretzels.

When the league makes less money, and/or inflation reverses.

Either the league is worth less, or the currency unit is worth more.
