I think the better solution is just lower the salaries. Theres no way to justify some of these multi million dollar salaries. The players win out majorly, the owners lose out, and so do the fans having to spend over a hundred dollars for 2 hours of entertainment.

If every owner agreed to not pay their players over 2 million, then the stars would have to accept that.
Actually, the players would take the owners to court, where they would be found guilty of collusion, and forced to pay the players what they are owed.

The real solution is a salary cap and salary floor. That way teams have to spend a certain amount to keep their team competetive, but can't buy everyone they want.

Give teams a couple years to get below the salary cap/above the floor, and I think everything will be fine.
