Seems to me the 36% is incorrect.

We could both sit here all day and try to figure out what metric the league or whoever came up with to arrive at the $1.7M figure but until we know that I think it’s going to be somewhat pointless for either of us to multiply that figure by x to make an argument. I have not seen anything reported that says close to 50% of the league’s revenue comes from gate receipts, which is what your numbers suggest.

And expansion aside, the players getting 72% and no gate revenue would be a $1.1B loss. The assumptions aren't all that extreme in arriving there.

Extreme probably isn’t the right word, misguided might be more suitable. You’re making this argument without considering a number of relevant factors such as how much the league will save on operating costs compared to last year, how much revenue goes to taxes etc.
