No, more profits doesn't mean more entertainment. People who are addicted to football pay a lot for it, increasing prices wont make them happier, increasing ads wont make them happier etc. You are basically increasing profits to make worse entertainment, having it not be profit seeking is so much better for the viewers.
- qeternity 6y agoYou're missing the point: the fact that people are willing to pay a lot means that there is a large incentive to provide the best level of entertainment. If you take the profit away, you risk misaligned incentives.
- username90 6y agoNo, capitalism doesn't work for front brand loyalty situations. Sure in theory building a good brand should be worth it, but that isn't what is happening here, the money grubbers came in long after the brand was built, changed it into a money making machine and the poor souls who got addicted to the brand now gets as much money as possible extracted from them. That kills the brand after a while, young people will stop watching and ultimately sports will die with that strategy.
