So? MLB hasn't always played 162 games. The NFL has gone from 12 to 14 to 16 to 17 games. What number of games is enough to prevent criticism?

MLB raises playoff qualifiers from 10 to 12: "Money-grubbing dirtbags!"
NFL raises playoff qualifiers from 12 to 14: * crickets chirping *
NFL raises regular season from 16 to 17 games: * crickets chirping *
Perhaps someday those who complain about money-grubbing by sports leagues will be consistent in such complaints and stop giving one league a pass in such actions while criticizing another league for it.
(A forlorn hope most likely.)
