it comes to oligarchies, is that their employees are paid the least.
The Dodgers do spend the most money but they also spend it smartly.
Why are you cheering for teams to pay as little as possible for their team, knowing that they will make hundreds of billions when they sell it?
The Dodgers increase the value of their employees from the scouts, coaches, players, etc.
The Dodgers provide a public good to the community and a huge tax base.
Would you rather have a team that tries not to win by their spending? Would you rather have billionaires try and artificially keep salaries down of their employees? Would you rather have an owner who tries to profit by not competing and sitting on the shared revenue of an appreciating asset?
