it's become something of a joke at this point.
MOST of the value in an nfl franchise now is tied up in one thing:
the willingness of cities/counties to hand them hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars every two decades or so. Thats where MOST of the value is.
If every 20 years someone is going to give you 600 million or so cash for free, of course your business is going to be worth a shitton.
It's a joke.
look at the raiders...they'd be crazy not to take the 750 million and move to Vegas. Thats 750 million dollars in cold hard cash that taxpayers are giving them.
The nfl isn't a business in any real sense of the word anymore. It's just a vehicle whereby rich men can raid city and county coffers to become much richer. And the worth of their asset is dependent on that ability.
