Richest sport may yet fall to its knees
The NFL is a sporting and commercial behemoth. It is the richest sports league in the world with revenues of over $13 billion (€11.2 billion) in 2017, which, by way of contrast, is double the reported record revenue of the Premier League for 2016/2017.
Last year, the NFL distributed a record $8bn (€6.8bn) in revenue share to its 32 teams. In a hallmark of the competitive balance which is so important to the NFL, every team received around $255m (€219m).
