And so the NFL prioritized sort of an owner's needs over what was in the best interest of the fans.
And be really careful here, NFL, if the Bears end up moving to Indiana.
Yeah.
I would argue the move out of Washington to Maryland was a mistake.
And that was a Jack Kent Cooke.
Can't blame that one on Dan Schneider.
All right.
That was a Jack Kent Cooke situation.
That turned out to be a bad business decision, not just a bad fan decision.
But bad fan decisions are bad business decisions.
And in this case, I think the NFL needs to be smarter.
Look, I know the only way owners can make money outside of the socialistic enterprise that is the National Football League, where you sort of have a salary cap and all the shared revenue, etc.
The differentiator for individual owners are the luxury boxes, are the season tickets, is the stadium experience, is parking, is concessions, etc.
And...
I get that.
But at the end of the day, the owners to me are not you know, these are not small businessmen.
These are not the many of them are not the best and brightest when it comes to business decisions.
And they're not always looking out for the interest of the NFL or the interest of the NFL fan base.
And the league, I think, needs to get more involved in these stadium decisions because these are NFL facilities as well as team facilities.
And considering you are a socialistic enterprise, this is not a free market system.
