Does the salary cap work?
The numbers show it does not. The MLB without a true salary cap has had 9 different World Series champions in the past 11 years. While in the NBA in the past 14 years 3 teams have combined for 11 of the championships. The salary cap was implemented to help create parity among teams. In fact it seems that the exact opposite has happened. Why some people might ask? I believe its because since all the teams are paying equal amounts for players they care less about the money and more about being on a good team. Look at the Heat they have Lebron, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh. That is an all-star line-up, how did they get such a good line-up? They had more to offer in talent and promises of championships than all the other teams. Not necessarily the most money to pay all of the players.
Should all the Leagues end the salary cap and follow baseball with a luxury tax?
