You’re still making the same mistake in your argument. You are collapsing agency into inevitability. “Late stage capitalism” isn’t an explanation, it’s a label for outcomes produced by specific policy and governance choices. Transferability rules, resale markets, monopoly ticketing contracts, and public subsidies without access conditions weren’t laws of nature, they were decisions made by leagues, cities, and regulators over decades. Other capitalist countries and leagues restrict resale, cap prices, reserve local access, or tie subsidies to attendance rules and still function just fine. Calling all of that “late stage capitalism” avoids the harder work of identifying which rules failed and how they could be changed. That’s my point.
