"You want me to assume the Saints could not be here without subsidies?"

I don't like subsidies, either, but yes, that is probably the assumption you should make.

Since the NFL enjoys a special federal exemption from the Sherman Anti Trust Act the US Congress should protect these local governments from themselves and out law the use of taxpayer financed subsidies and stadiums.

It is crazy to watch the cities compete with each other in terms of how much taxes they can give these billionaire owners.

How the NFL Fleeces Taxpayers

Cut out the subsidies and player salaries will plummet but will still be MUCH higher than what most players could earn outside of football so the supply of players would not shrink.
