Its not about life being fair you maroon.
The league is a joint venture, they need other teams to you know play games against. No one is paying to watch a Yankees intersquad game Besides, usually its not 100% of the revenue that is shared but national TV deals.

I don't even know what this is supposed to mean
You are still missing the point. I realize that in the media and among fans, revenue sharing and salary caps were intertwined as needed to make the competition "fair" particularly in baseball. But that is not why you share revenue. You share revenue because the product is the game, you need teams to play, the Yankees would not make as much as they do playing the Red Sox 162 times. It is easier and less costly to just split certain revenue like national TV deals 30 ways then to decipher who accounts for more.
