And what is the NFL?

And what are the teams?

And in this situation... Is the NFL the business or are the teams the business?

No, this is one entity acting on behalf of itself.

There's no collusion.

There's no monopoly.

Plus, you know, in this particular situation, they actually are in a competitive landscape against the AFL.

So there's strong argument to be made that this is not antitrust.

That argument does not carry the day.

A new congressional act specifically to advantage the NFL.

It's that, but Roselle also makes the strong case that this is good for America, for a game that is growing in popularity and a game that unites communities.

They're really starting to lean into this idea that this brings a lot of people together in a city.

It is a shining example of teamwork and a shining example of hard work.

and celebrating sportsmanship.

And this is a great thing that we should spread to more of America and make it easier for more people to consume.

They're starting to make arguments about the economy around, you know, it's good for people to have gathering points both at stadiums, but around stadiums with hotels for people to throw parties at their houses.

All of this is goodness.

And if you like the American economy, you should let us have a national TV contract for the NFL.

Totally.

A fun aside, I did the math on that $4.65 million per year deal.
