I WANT football to be socialist.
I just want to concentrate on which team is the best on the field.
I have no fun watching Steinbrenner destory to Devil Rays. Baseball is done.
Schumer is saving the game from the greedy owners. That is, if he actually accomplishes anything.
Not really, it's fall and the pages are back in school.Justice said:doesn't Congress have better things they need to be working on?

'Revenue sharing' is just a fancy term for plundering those franchises that have been successful in managing their team as a business. It isn't even about size of market or quality of team - the Cleveland Browns often crack the top 5 valued franchises, and the Houston Texans had the second highest operating income last year.

Oh, by the way, your example of Houston is actually the 4th largest US city. So having the 2nd highest operating income isn't surprising.

This thread is way too political, which was Mikey's intent, to stay on the football forum. Should be moved to, I don't care where, but any place but here.

In this case, Chucky Cheese is trying to get a new stadium financed (in Manhattan, of course), and even lib New Yorkers are choking on the bill. So they are doing what libs usually do - get someone else to pay for it.
I'm just glad for my own tax bill that none of our NJ politicians sold us out to the NY teams (so far).
I just find it outrageous that a NY politician would have the balls to complain about sports revenue - in any sport.
