Fascinating article. I think a lot here don't really appreciate what a wonder the NFL is just in terms of hard-headed business acumen. The ability to keep the league competitive through the current draft system is considered a big part of keeping the golden goose fat and healthy. Sharing TV revenue is another keystone.
The NFL is a big industry - and probably one of the best examples of true merit and performance based success in all of capitalism.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
