If people don’t watch, then there’s fundamentally no money to be given to the players. If you want money to be given to the player, you need to watch.

Men’s minor leagues all pay shit salary too and for the same reasons. Teams and leagues fold all the time.
Hockey, football, baseball, soccer- unless you’re at the top you make about as much as you would at Costco.
