Players cut is calculated solely on a percentage of league wide revenue...
TV deals, betting, advertising, merchandise, licensing rights for video games etc. even ticket revenue is only partially the local team.

But deals like this cut operating costs which put extra money on owners pockets only.

Benefits the billionaire class and not the millionaire class
