Players are incentivized to win due to specific decisions made by the league.

In Bananaball the league says, "practice your choreographed dance number before batting practice." And those same athletes are like, "Wait, which choreographed dance number? The seventh inning stretch, the grand finale, or the one we do in the infield when the guy on stilts is pitching?"

Edit: the grand finale dance number I saw is both teams dancing together. That should be noted.

Sure. There's a market for that. But the NBA sells a lot more tickets than the Harlem Globetrotters.

But that's a matter of scale. When I was a child, the Harlem Globetrotters were far more more famous than any 3-4 NBA teams combined. They were in multiple Scooby Doo movies/episodes. They failed tp scale the model, but wrestling didn't.

Would be very curious about, say, the worst MLB team's ticket sales vs. the Savannah Bananas.
