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.

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

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!

Have you thought that maybe this Warren guy has absolutely no interest in doing it? Give it a rest.

If the NFL said we are adding 22 more franchises to mid-major markets (very subjective yes).....yes i do think mr warren might say hey that would be cool for cold ass omaha....or maybe not. who knows.

Which current owner of an NFL team would ever agree to this?

For franchises that invest in their building and their team and aren't an embarrasement they would love this.......he (and guys like hunt and kronke) would think he would be in Level 1 forever and splitting level money 1/18 instead of 1/32....

for whoever the brown owner is (haslem/lebron?)....they would not bc they would be relegated in season 1 and then again in season 2 and playing the Boise Spudbusters.

Warren Buffet is giving away his entire fortune to charities.

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).

couldn't warren get a franchise and then donate all the profits from his Omaha Oracles to charity forever and ever?

what about harold in okc?

millers in SLC

harry in iowa...

denny is sodak.....

there are plenty of billionaires out there that would love to own an nfl franchise.

I vote there is a permanent thread for Siouxfan97 to regurgitate even single thought that stumbles through his mind, it would clean up a lot of the threads....
