Is the NFL the Business or the Teams the Business?
Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Baltimore actually will end up losing money in the short term on this because Rossell is pitching on a big group deal. He negotiates a two year deal with CBS at four point six, five million dollars in rights per year to be shared equally among the teams over three X the AFL deal. Fortunately and unfortunately, they immediately encounter political pressure in response to this. This triggers, I believe I guess, the Department of Justice to start an antitrust violation process against the NFL.
