This would blow the bullshit argument that socialism doesn't work. Don't get me wrong, I don't think a 100% socialist economy would work, just pointing out in this case it is mixed.
But the NFL even without mentioning the Packers is a form of privatized socialism. It is why the Saints of the 70s and 80s sucked huge donkey balls and still stayed afloat. The teams still profit share to prop up the other teams that may not be doing so well.
But even outside the issue of the NFL privatized socialism is not a liberal idea, but a GOP "fuck you I got mine" "trickle down" idea. Big business socializes the profits with CEOs and shareholders between them when they win, and socialize the loses on the tax payers when they lose.
Far too many Americans don't want to face the fact that the top is using their wallets for gambling money. And all these greedy assholes have to do is use slurs like "COMMIE" to scare people into allowing them to pick their pockets
