They should be paid less not because they are stealing their wages or because the current system allows them to earn that much, they should be paid less because the system doesn't need to pay them that much. If baseball player salaries are capped at (I don't know the number, say $150k), there will still be millions of athletes that will pursue the job. Same with singer, actor, entertainer, etc. Those jobs are extremelely pleasurable, so even if wages are cut the supply of athletes/artists won't be cut meaningfully. It may in fact be improved because we'd have entertainers pursuing their art more for love of the art than to make some dough.

I agree. Capping works for the NFL; why can't it work for baseball.
