The NFL generally doesn’t serve as much of a favoritism contest. Granted, there do exist some exceptions to this rule (as they do with any predetermined stipulation), but professional sports is one industry that more oft than not grants opportunities to those who will perform at the highest level.
Winning - and profits apportioned to those who own our beloved franchises represent the all-important bottom line in these games of inches - and the two are consequentially intertwined.
We’ve heard the mantra “it’s a business” time and time again with regards to the sporting world, and unfortunately, although those whom are paid the big bucks to create big dividends for pro teams are all human, they are also commodities that can be traded, released, or replaced at any given moment.
