On stilts. The NFL exists to make a profit for its members. Which in fact it does make by the many millions or billions.
The fact that the league has things like rewarding poor teams with high draft choices is done solely for the purposes of trying to avoid dominance by a few teams. Because teams that dominate might hurt competition, might hurt attendance and tv viewer nos. MIGHT HURT THE BOTTOM LINE!!!
There is no intent for socialism which is a ridiculous notion for a league that is the epitome of a successful private enterprise.
“This guy is an idiot. The NFL is one content provider competing with an ever-widening choice of other content providers such as other sports leagues, movie theaters, theme parks, TV programs, Netflix, YouTube, porn, etc.”
Ah, you forgot the WWE! ;-)
I think it’s even more local than that. It’s part of the war on masculinity.
Yes. I agree that it is that too.
When the NFL starts sharing with the WNBA, MLS, Arena Football (if it still exists), Pro Lacrosse, etc., then we can talk socialism. Of course, Tom Brady and the player on the end of the bench of the last-placed WNBA team will get paid the same, too, which might get her an extra $10 a year after the sharing reaches every worthless sport that nobody cares about, but it will do wonders for he income inequality “problem.”
very bad writing. NFL within itself is a cartel both owners and players. The system competes for airtime on media.
