for 1) says who? What is this based on, do you mean, no owner has ever, in the history of professional football, bought a team and then later sold it for less, or do you mean they have never had a financial loss in a year. Prove it.
2) Each team GETS?? $100M/yr?? what are you talking about? From where?? for what?? says who?
3) ok, so what?
4) so if you own google the company, and spend more money than you make in your fiscal year, but the market value of the company goes up, you haven't lost money for that year. Tell ya what, how about I sell you a company, that increases in value every year by $4Million, but every year you lose $5million, what does that have to do with anything??
5) What are you saying?? Yes, if overall revenue goes down, then since the salary cap is a % of that, the salary cap goes down, but what if they cowboys revenue goes up by $10M, the bills revenue goes down by $2M, the cap still goes up, but the bills still lose money. Right?
6) says who and why?? what is so terrible about it. Don't talk to me about guaranteed contracts. the players can have them if they want them. some players have had them. Nothing in the CBA prevents it, so what is the rotten deal the players are getting??
how do you figure the owners are printing money. Prove it.
:shakeno:
Just when it seems like you are starting to be reasonable...
1 - In the modern NFL no owner has taken an overall loss, because the revenue that they share comes close to covering all the annual costs.
2. Each team's portion of the broadcast rights, sponsorships and the about 40% of ticket revenue that goes to visitors came out to over 100 million per team... before counting any of their own profits.
And that number is going up, up, up. Next year the tv ALONE will give each team over 100 million right out of the gate.
And are you allergic to research or something? You keep demanding others teach you. Don't just ask people on here to prove it, dial up that google.com or go to the library and have a go at it.
3. "So what"... um, so it answered your question? How's that. :shakeno:
4. What does your "example", coupled with my facts about franchise value, tell you? That's right, it tells you that NFL franchises are healthy and robust and gaining value like crazy. Businesses don't go up in value because they are hemerroging money... and even if they did... sell. If Snyder is losing money, he can sell and make a tidy 600 million profit.
5. The minimum SHARED revenue from the nfl by itself is insurance enough to cover every team. That 3.7 isn't going anywhere until what, 2011? Then they work out a new labor deal if they like.
6. Guaranteed contracts in the NFl are extremely rare and usually very limited. They are the only big sport without the CBA protection of guaranteed contracts. Trying to wave it away by saying they can get if they want in a league which will almost never do so is disingenous and misleading.
none of what you have here shows any credible info about NFL teams making money every year. so lets move on.
:shakeno:
Yeah. Ok. believe what you like. Those teams are really struggling. Heck you could probably buy the Redskins by trading in your used Hundai.
That's why you have so much turnover in ownership. All of these guys are desperate to sell quick before they lose ALL their money! Panic in the streets! Sell! Sell!
