A team will spend millions of bucks on a player or players, and the players just being in it for the money will under perform. Just look at the Mets, or at the New York Rangers just prior to when the cap was introduced in the NHL. The Rangers were on an 8 year streak of missing the playoffs, despite constantly boasting one of the NHL's highest payrolls. Hypothetical situation. -The New York Camels of the United Bowling League of America are in a league which boasts no salary cap. -They decide to sign Mr. X, one of the best bowlers in the world to a 10 year, 400 million dollar contract. -Mr. X under performs -The Camels miss the playoffs in year one of his contract. -The following season expectations are lower, but fans are still there. -Mr. X doesn't par with the best players of the league and the Camels miss the playoffs again -They looses fans, some TV stations decide that they don't renew a television contract, and few corporations withdraw their support for the team. In the end, it is not generating money, it can loose money just as easy as it can generate it. A salary cap is a more efficient way to manage the team and cause a less drastic chain of such events. That's not to say it will be an easier way. Basically, the team looses money rather than gaining money, so there goes green's theory that sports generates money.

Look at the Yankees last year was the only year in what 14 years or so that they didn't make it to the playoffs, and now they are back on the playoffs again and actually finished the season with the best record. It doesn't mean they will win the world series, but they still did pretty good whatever happens now. Are some players overpaid? Yes they are but oh well
