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.

Been said already but I think it needs to really be made clear, that inflation doesn't help but hasn't driven this. This isn't something that just came to fore in three years. This is a trend, and a trend because valuations have increased across the board. Player, team, league, media. As a result, we're gonna see that result in player contracts be richer.

More money in the sport now, which isn't a bad thing.
