They have to pay for those new H2's somehow...
That's not really fair though. When Danny and Jerry pay because they have the revenue and it's not a big deal, that puts places like St. Louis, Green Bay and Pittsburgh under a tough situation. And the players have the draft so it's not like they can go play for a team that will pay them the most. And if we don't have the draft, then what are we going to do with the NFL? Cut it back to half the teams or less? Are we going to have a 3 team league with the Skins, Cowboys and Giants?
It's easy to say the owners don't have discipline, but there are ecomonic realities behind it. Just saying they should be disciplined and stop there is sort of simplistically naive. What system do you propose?
They share network TV revenues, so that really isn't an issue. Let the marketplace control things.
I see, so as long as they share one source of revenue it's equal footing? Got it, Thanks!
