The salary cap is a part of football. To argue that fans should ignore it is as ridiculous as arguing that fans should ignore the draft, the record, the score, or the down and distance of the game. They all play key roles in the teams success. Just as player nearing the sidelines may score if they don't cross out of bounds before they reach the goal line, a team may be able to assemble a dynasty level roster if they can add quality young talent without reaching the point where they are limited by the salary cap and have to stick with the senior tour instead to kick the can.

The only difference with the salary cap is that it involves middle school level math, whereas the rest involve early elementary school level math skills such as counting and basic addition and subtraction. Middle School math intimidates too much of the audience for the media to be willing to cover it in detail, once you start busting out x = (y-1)/5 to explain how a restructure prorates money, a lot of people think that its quantum physics or 'wizardry.' Many tune out or click away, but its seriously more like 7th grade and I try to explain and analyze it since the media won't. As a more neglected aspect of football competition, I take an interest in it. Sorry if you think anyone who likes 7th grade math must have Asperger's or something, but its really not all that.
