As we all know, the NFL has done very well for itself lately. Negotiation of big TV contracts, recognisation as a global brand, new stadia, massive salaries for players, a far cry from the days of player strikes and the other negative stuff.
But...
Is there trouble on the horizon? Those of you who pay attention to the league during the off-season will remember the ALMIGHTY struggle that then-Commissioner Tagliabue had in mediating and successfully negotiating a new CBA. As opposed to the owners squabbling with the players union, it was the owners arguing amongst themselves.
The final margin was 30-2 in favour, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if the negotiation become a bloodbath next time. More money on the table might make the richest teams even more resentful of the revenue sharing concept.
I just hope that the next few years won't be the beginning of the end of the NFL as we know it.
Can revenue sharing still work?
Will it mean the end of the salary cap?
What do you think?
