The Dodgers' Tax (http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/opinionla/la-ed-dodgers-cable-tv-fees-20120330,0,7521642.story)

The group that paid an astronomical sum for the team will seek big money for broadcast rights. That cost will end up on your pay-TV bill, even if you don't watch sports.

 The demands from sports networks are outsize versions of the increases obtained by other channels; together, they've driven up the average monthly cable bill from $40 to nearly $80 over the last decade. That's far faster than the rate of inflation.
