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.

Cord-cutting has been on the rise for over a decade, and that will 100% start to affect sports leagues, as long as they continue to rely on the old RSN model.

Bally's going bankrupt and defaulting on some of its payments to MLB teams is the first sign. FO guys in capped leagues should seriously be taking into the account the possibility of cap stagnation in the next 10 years.
