I am bored and this is long and boring. This is my view on why the NFL needs structure, regulations and guidelines in the business aspects of the NFL to support the purest form of competition. I don't claim to be an expert or even educated in business politics but you don't have to to understand the general picture. In looking at the general picture I can not figure out why a fan who is purely devoted to supporting the healthiest, cleanest and more importantly fair competition would want a free market. Business passionate poeple who may take their concepts and politics a bit religiously might be offended but if you're a fan why are you looking at the NFL as a business? If you found out they made good profits at the end of a season would that make you happy or something? Why does business ethics in the NFL matter to you?

I just don't understand the need please distant opinions of ideal business conceptions unless you were only a buisness man and not a fan or maybe more one than the other. For the fan what matters should be more concerned with the actual game and the healthy competition that supports an even playing field, rather than the buisness methods, but it is still hard to see why even a free market guru would wish to see a 'competitive sporting' market turned to crap.

Free markets may work well elsewhere but why do you feel the need to give another team an advantage for circumstances unrelated and even uncontrollable to the real talents of the game.

Wanting no CBA sounds completely unrelated to the team or competition and quite honestly more of a personal objective. A CBA means evening the playing field.

Say two people decide to play baseball. Each need 8 other poeple costing them money. One person is more popular and happens to have more money. He is able to hire professionals. This has now become an unfair, competitive game. Forget why the other team has the money and whether you feel it can be justified, or say why they deserve it and the other team doesn't the fact remains: competition has been destroyed.

There are advantages given to the other team that can literally be pointed out on paper. Sure they'll still be competition but not fair, healthy competition in my opinion. With a structure and everyone under the same roof financially, it is truly even competition. The deal may not have agreed with your buisness ideals but how does one deny the equality and fairness of the competition? Having more money/fans/support/geographical location should not really an excuse for creating a better team, but even if it was, let's just pretend, how does this not destroy fair, even competition? In a free market teams will win not becasue they are the better team but because money from unrelated factors of the game allowed for them to buy a better team, competition between the team and the players is skewed.

Forgive me Fiz and anyone else, maybe you can help me see the picture clearer, I am only trying to understand your stances in relation with competition. Not buisness, healthy, even competition. How can this possibly happen in a free market?

So what you guys are saying is already kinda the first sentence of the original post? Insightful.

The last paragraph says it all, how does a free market support fair competition?

It's mainly for Fiz, sometimes I can't tell if he is serious but I am pretty sure there is some truth to his free market BS.

I know he already has a half a thread topic saved in word...
