EersSkins05 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Even in an uncapped NFL, the comparisons with MLB aren't anywhere close. The difference between the NFL and MLB is that all of the NFL's games are the property of the NFL, not of the teams individually, and that MLB's revenue sharing is much less significant than the NFL's. The reason the Yankees produce so much more revenue (and in turn, can spend so much more on their players) is that they sell their regular season games through their own network (YES) in one of the largest media markets in the world. While teams like the Pirates broadcast their games through Fox Sports Pittsburgh, the Yankees, Red Sox, Braves, and now Mets all receive their broadcasting revenues directly. When the NFL sells the rights to its games through DirecTV, Fox, CBS, ESPN, ABC, or NBC, the revenue is divided equally among all teams. The revenue earned by each team is far more equally divided in the NFL than in MLB, and thus the disparity between what big market teams (like the Jets) and the smaller market teams (like the Chiefs) will bring in for revenue in a post-cap era isn't nearly as great as everyone thinks it will be.

camyj15 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 How about radio broadcasts? If Dan Snyder's Red Zebra pans out, this could be another source of revenue for the team. Not to beat a dead horse, but if it does, this will be another new source of revenue he shouldn't have to share with other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire071 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 there should be exemptions for higher grossing teams, a higher cap, and certain things like Red Zebra should count less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcarey032 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I don't like the redskins being compared to the yankees, impart because I really can't stand them. But, I think that the yankess are probably more like the cowboys. Either you love or you hate 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
