Franchise Question(s) 99 (net worth)

It is not the Yankees, in Anerica it is the Skins. NFL teams are worth more than MLB teams because they just simply make more money. NFL teams have the best national TV deal, THE biggest sports event of the year(in this country anyway), and a salary cap. The revenue sharing makes all teams profitable as well as competitive. Compare the Yankee's aprox. $210 million team salary vs the Skins' $85 million. Even though the Yankees have a pretty good TV deal with the YES network, it can't compare with the 32 way split of the NFL contract. Think about the fact that each week there are NFL games on 4 different major channels. The Skins are worth more than all other NFL team simply becuase it is near DC and no matter what they ask for ticket prices they get.
