This kind of bothers me.

I don't like it when teams raise ticket prices after a bad season. I dont like paying full price for preseason games or being forced to buy WNBA tickets if you want good NBA tickets. I dont like it when teams give up on a season and mail it in after I already bought tickets. I dont like PSA's or $50 to park. I dont like $12 beers at the arena or stadium.

Jerseys? That is just good business if there are enough suckers to buy them

Doesn't that go hand in hand for the tickets, PSA's and $12 beers?

Not really because a lot of jerseys are sold to people who arent even fans of the team in question (fashion statement)and a jersey doesnt really effect your experience at a game (unless you are wearing an islanders jersey at the garden). The others do negatively.
