There is zero chance the players would agree to a salary cap without revenue sharing. All that would mean is that big market team owners would have even more money stuffing their pockets after paying the maximum salaries. The players in the other teams are not only not helped but their chances of a big payday go down with every cap maxing contract a superstar gets. If George has to share some of his revenue with smaller market teams, those teams will have more money and will agree to a larger cap, which makes the pie bigger for more players.
I'm no sports genius but it makes sense to this small market fan. ARod's annual pay under his Rangers contract was larger than the entire Twins payroll the last year or so. A little revenue sharing would change the playing field.
