If we had an owner who wasn't as rich, I'm sure the Redskins would not be a part of any gang of 9.

The NFL is one league and all the ships will rise together or sink together.

danny is hundreds of millions of dollars in debt from buying the skins still, how does he pay for that? how is he supposed to make money?

fedex pays millions to have their name on the stadium, yet we're expected to share that money with the bengals and browns that refuse to sell their naming rights? If they don't want a sponsorship on their field, that's fine, but the SKINS shouldn't be responsible for paying for it.

I agree totally, after all we are not communists. I think the plum that the have-nots are really after is the luxury suite revenue. Although, now that I think about it, what team doesn't have a boatload of luxury boxes at this point? If the Browns and the Packers want us to share our FedEx naming rights money, they have got a lot of balls. It's like the Rolling Stones asking the Beatles to hand over some of their wig proceeds.

fedex was designed specifically to maximize lux boxes... if that money goes into a shared pool, it's only hurting the owners of new stadiums (which again, fedex is part of the debt danny still has) and promoting others who build newer staddiums not to bother cause they'll only get 1/32nd of the profit and its not worth the trouble.
