You're taking too narrow a view of this. Sure, some highly paid jocks are going to lose their jobs. If they're any good, they'll probably be picked up by other teams. They aren't likely to suffer so there's no need to go into class warfare rhetoric.

However, the athletes aren't the only ones who work for a team. Every major league team and ballpark employes a lot of people, ranging from the front office all the way down the food chain to the ticket takers, security personnel, concession stand workers, and even the beer guys. All of them will likely lose their jobs as well.

Furthermore, when the team goes away, a lot of other people in the city will be affected. These people may work for area motels and restaurants and will see a decline in business. They may work at the local airport or drive a taxi and won't have as many customers because people aren't coming to town to see a game. They may work for the printing shop that prints the programs, or do a host of other things related to the team. They may even be a city employee or contractor who loses work due to a decline in tax revenues because of the business lost and no more ticket sales. The ripple effects throughout the community extend far beyond the team or the ballpark. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of people could be affected by losing a team.
