There is TV money, ticket money, licensing money, concessions, etc etc. Who gets to keep it all - Billionaire owners? The owners need the players and vice versa. They negotiate a deal that works for both sides. There's no bigger morality in it - write or wrong it's a business transaction. How much is it worth to a team to keep a player and pay him? In the end accountants most likely make these decisions.
What about what MLB players make? NBA?
What about a CEO who 'earn's 400 times what the average employee gets?
