NFL

Problem: The NFL is considered a nonprofit franchise despite being a multibillion dollar industry.

Solution: Lawyers. Nukes.

This is not scandalous or unusual. All sports leagues work this way. The league itself is a nonprofit governing organization, and the money/tax liability goes through each individual franchise. There are plenty of ways pro sports gets free money and dodges taxes but this isn't one of them.

This is really going to be a problem in the NFL where uniform numbers are restricted to position.

He's saying never retire any numbers, which is basically how the NFL already operates for the reason you state.

MLB loves that crapshoot effect of the playoffs, it allows them to gloss over the realities of competitive imbalance due to financial inequity.

I don't hate interleague play in principle but I hate it being used to obscure the fact that Bud Selig is a lovely commissioner and lovely person
