Most big businesses answer to stock holders so they have the obligation to maximize profits. These aren't small business owners scraping pennies to make good, they are raking in money hand over fist and *gasp*...wanting more.
At the end of the day, the product on the field are why people shell out that money. That product happens to be people that put their health on the line every week to entertain the masses. (much like old gladiators) I want the money going to those guys, not the assholes that sit in the owners box.
If they really want to "maximize profits" like you claim, then they wouldn't be handing out record breaking contracts like they did to Seymour, Haynesworth, and Asomugha.
