NFL economics - revenue sharing
Here's an interesting article about capitalism and socialism in the NFL. Jones and Snyder are the capitalists and it's easy for them because they are in the big markets. On the other hand Irsay (Colts owner) wants more revenue sharing so he doesn't have to keep paying his players out of his own pocket (the Colts don't make enough money to handle a Peyton Manning size contract).
In the midst of it all is Wellington Mara lamenting that football was more fun in the old days. Nowadays, when the owners meet they only talk about business; they used to talk about football.
