Over the past 2 years, the world has seen a shake-up in the economy not witnessed in decades with multi-Billion dollar companies crashing. The Bail-Out plan I have a problem with is the NFL.Ever since Pete Rozelle convinced the owners to share revenue, the topic has been debated in the style of a heated political debate. Those to the right believe teams should have to perform like any other business, making themselves profitable.Personally, I believe revenue sharing has some merit, but only with conditions. Currently, the NFL shares all of its TV and licencing revenues between all teams, giving the smaller market teams enough operating capitol to be competitive. This has enabled the success of the Buffalo Bills and Green Bay Packers, amongst others.
