I believe I said a competing league.

I was just showing all the possibilities (including a new league) and showing why any of them are difficult, beyond any issue of stadiums or arenas.

Rarely, are there tickets available for NFL games.

For some teams there are. In any case this whole discussion started with the salaries of baseball players, and later you made the statements more generally about all sports, not just the NFL.

If the NFL routinely sells out games, and you have a lot of extra people who would like to buy tickets but can't because there are none left, then you could say that their tickets are under priced. The teams are selling them at a below market rate. Probably because they feel that a true market rate would get an angry reaction, or at least that sudden change would get an angry reaction.

Just as there is no alternative company producing and selling Opterons or Macs. NFL football has alternatives like non-NFL football, and other sports.

That's not the same.


An NBA game or an Arena league football game provides a different experience than an NFL game, but a Mac provides a different experience than a PC. Arguably the experience might be a bit closer in the case of the computers, but in both cases you have a substitute good.
