NFL and NFLPA won't do it or let it happen. this guy couldn't plunk down a cool 5 billion for a team in "cold ass omaha"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Buffett the Omaha Oracles?

The Sicatoka Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Explore why most of the most valuable pro sports franchises are in the US (NFL, NBA, MLB, most of NHL) over all but the six mega clubs of Euro soccer. The value is knowing the club won't be dramatically devalued by one bad season (and relegation). US owners like it how it is. As far as competitive balance that's why draft order is based on performance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you but sooner or later there has to be some repercussions for just saying "my franchise is worth 4 billion and i'm good with just being the browns"....if the threat of relegation was there you would see some of these franchises actually be held accountable for piss poor decades of losing. A 3 tiered league of 18 each would be nice. 17 games...no divisions..move 3 up and down. Level 1 LA Rams SF 49ers Seattle Denver Dallas KC New Orleans Miami Green Bay New England Baltimore Tampa Bay New York Giants Philadelphia Chicago Pittsburgh Washington Las Vegas Level 2 LA Chargers Minnesota Detroit Arizona Jacksonville Charlotte Cleveland Cincinnati NY Jets Buffalo Tennessee Houston Indianapolis Atlanta Level 3 St. Louis San Diego Oakland Salt Lake City OK City Lubbock Portland Albuquerque Omaha Memphis Orlando Sacramento Wichita Des Moines Sioux Falls Boise Columbus Birmingham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it shouldn't. In European soccer, where it's prevalent it has made virtually every league top heavy with only a couple of teams that have any shot at the title. Instead the goal is simply to be in the top league. In America, it would also mean tons of cities having to build major league caliber stadiums at taxpayer expense. No thanks!

Stan Kroenke told St. Louis to build him a new stadium which he built with his own money in LA. It’s already hard to to own a professional franchise since the owners don’t just let anyone or anywhere have a team. One of the richest families in the US (Waltons) already own two NFL teams (Rams and Broncos). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
