Via Daniel Kaplan of SportsBusiness Journal, the team reported $226.4 million in so-called “national” revenues, which means that the NFL distributed that much to each team.

 

Which means that more than $7.2 billion was distributed by the league office via TV deals and other shared revenue streams.

 

The Packers also reported record revenues of $375.7 million, with local revenues of $149.3 million.

7.2 Billion and the NFL doesn't take care of ex-players medical issues.

 

I love the NFL but I hate them for being that greedy.

Do they pay taxes on that?

Do they pay taxes on that?

 

Seems like I read the NFL started paying taxes recently.

 

One year with that type of fundage, and they could take care of most if not all of these guys.

 

The NFL needs to get headed in the right direction on some things. Too much bad press for our flagship.

Not to mention the coercion by the NFL fo public municipalities to fund stadium construction.

How much money do the Packers collect annually by allowing their fans to buy-in to their ownership?

It is the "power of the NFL". It is a money making monster that the fans cannot get enough of.

Do they pay taxes on that?

 

My guess is no, otherwise it would be taxed twice, once by the NFL and once by the teams who (I would have to assume) record it as taxable income. In this case, my guess is the NFL just acts as a pass thru entity.

I thought the packers only sold stock when doing major upgrades to facilities to fund such upgrades?

I blame cities and states more than pro teams. They brought this on themselves when it was used as a way to lure pro teams to their cities. Then it turned itself into a way to prevent a team from leaving for another city willing to offer such perks to move.

I have mixed feelings on this one too. Pro Football Teams bring A LOT to a city and they should be compensated for that. How much I don't know but a stadium sounds about right to me.

Do we have a way to measure that? What do pro football teams bring to a city?

 

$7.2 billion disbursement per team from league-wide contracts alone and we're talking about buying them new playgrounds? I don't see it.

70K on game day for starters.

 

I do agree it is hard to measure but no one can deny there are benefits to a city and some cities are willing to pay more than others.

Politicians don't want to be the ones to tell fans that they're the reason the team left. I'm only a minor Vikings fan and so I can confidently say that if the Vikings hadn't gotten that sweetheart deal from the state legislature and moved to LA, I'd have had no problem not watching or following the NFL anymore. I know that's not the case with most people and being a fan makes stepping back and looking at a political decision with skeptical eyes is difficult from that perspective.

 

I think teams bring a lot to cities that is intangible, but I don't know that what they bring is financially great.

^ A city like LA not having a team makes no sense to me.
