When anyone comes up with a better way than the free market to determine what someone's services are worth, please post it here.

I'll believe MLB is an example of a free market when teams aren't heavily subsidized with forced tax revenues and the states/cities aren't paying for most of the stadiums.

I'm pretty sure most stadiums have been paid for more by cities and states than by the teams. The new stadium being built in Las Vegas is just the latest example.

Exactly.

A state protected monopoly heavily subsidized by the state is a poor example of a free market lol

If you are going to cross off the list any entity that has negotiated tax breaks or subsidies, there won't be much of a free market left.

If you believe it is necessary to negotiate special breaks and subsidies from the state for a business to operate, that might be a clue that it ain't a free market at all.

There's nothing free market about it if it's government subsidized and a state protected monopoly. This is one of the worst businesses in America to claim is free market.
