What you point out reflects the smaller amount of financial resources these teams have to begin with from their management, as well as the much smaller wealth to be found in their areas in general.

The point I want to make is that its important for teams to want to make the league stronger for everyone. How can we make this the best league, the most competitive league? A "we're all in this together" attitude makes for a much more interesting league for fans to watch.

The more there is an everyone for themselves attitude, then strife from all quarters threatens everyone's enjoyment of being a fan.

Right now for example, as the owners struggle over this issue, the labor agreement is in jeopardy. This sort of strife could lead to the Redskins having to release half their players. Not fun.
