Free markets should exist in everything but sports.

Some teams have a larger following due to population. New York teams would just be unfair.

Teams like the Saints would never have a shot.

Ok but why not increase revenue sharing instead of artificially suppressing what players can make?

Thats where real revenue sharing comes in. The Lakers get $200mil/year for local tv all to themselves. Add all home game revenue (more expensive seats than in NO) and they can afford insane payrolls without breaking a sweat.

The real question is do you believe that pro teams are businesses designed to make profit regardless of the product or are they designed to make money to be reinvested in the team even it is comes to a net loss?
