Revenue Sharing.

Here is a question, what would the Redskins do if all of a sudden the Saints said we're moving to Norther Virginia so we can be in a better market? Or the Dallas if the Saints want to move to San Antonio?

I'm not disagreeing with the current system. If there were no revenue sharing, competition would go out the window as teams that don't draw as much money might not spend enough on players. So, I am not saying I want the scheme that MLB has.

All I am saying is that it sucks for the Redskins that we don't get to keep all of our revenue. It's unfortunate not only for Daniel Snyder, but also for 'Skins fans since the revenue sharing affects ticket prices.

Sorry mate, ticket prices have nothing to do with revenue sharing. The thing that drives ticket prices is demand. Redskins have a long waiting list. While they have to be somewhat reasonable they have the luxury of having so many well off people in the DC area on the waiting list.

If revenue sharing had anything to do with ticket prices then NFL teams would be smart to start charging $100 for shitty seats.

If a team loses revenue (via revenue sharing), it, like any other company, is going to try to make up such losses by some other method (i.e. jacking up ticket prices, food prices, or whatever else it can get away with). The revenue sharing is essentially a built in cost of doing business in the NFL. Who does that cost get passed onto if not us fans? I'm sure Daniel Snyder isn't going to "take one for the team." That's just my two cents.

But, if you are privy to some information that I am not, please share it.
