Sammy Baugh Fan 03-07-2006, 09:12 PM Well said Sammy! Thanks! Can I count on yer vote? I'm running for President of the The Warpath Member's Association. :hitfan: saden1 03-07-2006, 09:20 PM I still think that revenew sharing is un-American. As a small business man I would not work as hard as I do and then share my money with companies around the Country that don't make as much. That's.........STUPID. Failing as a business[team]? Get better, Move, do something other than suck the blood out of me and my hard working company. peace The NFL is big business. Big monopolistic business. The sort of business where people have already carved out the best part of the turkey for themselves. The sort of business where you can't just move your team to better situate yourself to have more financial success. Think of the NFL as customer sharing business rather than money a sharing business.

No, I won't think of it that way and I hope the group of 9 agrees. So what if 4-5 teams had to move? They make players move for money. Make them move their OWN money. peace and respect GoSkins! 03-07-2006, 09:35 PM I understand what the NFL wants and what the Union wants and I understand why they want revenue sharing. They want to create a level playing field that will make the league better as a whole, in turn making every team better in the end.

But I digress... Back to football... P.S. Maybe we should look up the definition of "sharring". I bet it has something to do with Shar Pourdanish. CRT3 03-07-2006, 09:53 PM Absolutely not! You want to charge poor people in Cincinnati the same amount you would people in Norther Virginia and Maryland who happen to have 5 of the top 15 highest-income counties by per capita income in the United States? You'll be breaking all the rules of economics and not only that but you won't have people going to games in Cincy and you won't be making as much money as you could in Virgina. Yo dude there are a higher amount of poor people in PG County and DC then in Cincinati. There are poor people everywhere. IF you want to have complete sharring and equal revenues for all then prices should be equal period. If you go by your theory then the Redskins should be able to keep more money cause of there demographics. I don't think the owners will make their decesion based on demos.

Think of the NFL as customer sharing business rather than money a sharing business. OK I'll go along with your argument after you explain a few things to me... Baltimore Ravens ---> Originally the Cleveland Browns Tennessee Titans ---> Originally the Houston Oilers Arizona/Phoenix Cardinals ---> Originally the St. Louis Cardinals St. Louis Rams ---> Originally the Los Angeles Rams Oakland Raiders ---> previously L.A. Raiders ---> previously Oakland Raiders Indianapolis Colts ---> Originally the Baltimore Colts All these teams moved to improve their financial situation via, in many cases, a promised larger stadium, or a more exclusive market. I believe three (maybe four) of these teams went on to win SBs after their moves to new homes. dan_snyder69 03-07-2006, 10:02 PM Burnnnnn! saden1 03-07-2006, 10:02 PM In America, we call the NFL a monopoly. Actually even worse, it's a monopoly with its own subset of monopolies.
