I don't see why people in places like Baltimore would want to complain about how their market size is not as big as New York. They are already much better off than Boise, where the market size is way smaller and doesn't even have a team. Of course what you get as entertainment options will depend on the market size. I am not gonna cry foul that the Japanese restaurants in Kansas City is not as good as the ones in Los Angeles.
Other entertainment options aren't based on the principle of a fair game between two teams. This slant of your argument isn't the best you've used so far.

And college sports are different. The NCAA at least tries to stop $ being the driving force for the recruits. If Boise State can attract good players with a well run program and prestige of its team's history, that's more genuine than just shelling out big bucks to ensure more wins.
