View Poll Results: Should owners get more money for producing more wins? | |||
Yes, and it should be significant. Reward winning and burn the losers out. | 9 | 27.27% | |
Yes, but it should be a token for pride purposes. Money doesn't matter to these guys. | 5 | 15.15% | |
No. It's not necessary. These guys all want to put the best product on the field. | 9 | 27.27% | |
No. I think that tanking a season is a good thing and more teams should do it. | 1 | 3.03% | |
I am opinionless on this. I looked in my opinion bag and it's empty. | 2 | 6.06% | |
I don't think the NFL should keep track of wins and losses. It's all about participation. | 7 | 21.21% | |
Voters: 33. You may not vote on this poll |

The NFL is exempt from antitrust laws. That pretty much makes it a monopoly.
As a fan, I agree that it should be a monopoly because it is the best way to put the best product on the field. But as a condition of being exempt from antitrust laws, I'd love to see a proposal such as mine to make more competition within the structure of the league. In short, I think the NFL should be a monopoly, but their owners and teams should be pressured to be more subject to artificial competitive forces since they are exempt from the major effects of typical market based forces. |

I guess I really dont see the point in allocating even more money to winning teams....and the winning teams are going to reap rewards JUST from winning (playoff tickets, playoff beer/hotdogs...etc.)
What is the goal of this? To give more of an incentive to the owner to win games? To weed out bad owners? If thats the goal, maybe just have a contract where an owner doesnt win X number of playoff games over a 10 year/20 year period they are forced to sell the team? I think that would be a better way of handling that goal with a non game breaking method.

Well, of course. It would be a surprise ending to everybody but Chiefs fans. I see it playing out with a dramatic drive downfield in the last minute of the game to the one-yard line, and then our future hall of fame kicker would miss an 18-yard field goal as time runs out.

2. Let's call the base salary x. The true value of any player, let's call it z, is always unknown. Likewise the value of playoff bonus dollars, let's call this y, for each team is unknown. Teams are trying to maximize z while minimizing x. They have additional motives to maximize y. Players are trying to maximize x + y and want to maximize their z because it maximizes y. It seems like all of the elements for a competitive market are in place. Teams that best estimate z and players perceptions of y will be able to make the optimum offers of x. In your example, the two teams are offering the same x. Y is perceived to be higher for one of the two teams, thus the estimate of the true ability of the player (z) made by the two teams is different. The team that better estimates z as a reflection of their offer (x + y) will come out better in the end and thus field a more competitive team. Finally you mention many non-financial factors that would cause a player to select a team, most related to winning, but some related to market size. Since owners now have win to make money, it makes winning even more important since you won't be able to get good players if you don't win. In many ways, it seems that the proposed NFL model shares aspects of the college model (top players want to go top teams plus trade offs between top team and opportunity to play). It should be noted that there is significant drift among the top college teams from year to year and decade to decade. The top dogs in the NFL would have much more ability to change relative position since the NFL has a parity draft, which colleges do not have. |

It would be like the ending of Rocky, but without the moral victory.

**** that.
If that is the case, I would rather all teams become property of the cities they are in. Most of the stadium building costs come from them anyway. Set ceiling and floors for team salaries. Owner/GM gets a percentage from wins/playoffs. All extra money goes to city. This includes tv/merch. Successful owners/GMs would make more from winning. But the cities could use the profits for schools and lower taxes on citizens. All of this would be public information though, so the cities can not misuse it or steal it. |
