DJExile posted:The problem at least for team sports vis a vis parity is most owners don't give a poo poo about winning as long as they're still putting asses in seats. The Cleveland Browns have been putting out an absolute joke of a team ever since they came back but why should they give a poo poo about spending the time and money on a good one if the fans keep showing up? They can put bags over their heads and boo everything but they're still buying tickets. This has been my argument about the NFL (and the Browns in particular) for years. Outside of personal pride, there is ZERO incentive to improve your team or spend more than you have to - unless you're angling for a new stadium. NFL owners show a profit before down 1 of the first preseason game thanks to TV contracts and revenue sharing. Ticket sales and whatnot are just icing on the cake, especially when fans have been brainwashed into thinking every game counts and "any given Sunday" is a thing. Browns fans are the worst, as they bitch and moan constantly but still show up in droves hours before the game to watch a team destined for a top 5 draft pick. As long as tailgating, fantasy football, and gambling are around, parity doesn't mean poo poo to 95% of NFL fans.
