And further, GB signing Reggie White to a massive contract was a major cause for the NFL to desire a cap.I
Talk about 100% wrong #irony
You missed the point that the two teams that STARTED the cry for a cap was the PACKERS and BROWNS. Here's is some things that I'm sure you have no knowledge of. The packers were setup as a nonprofit corporation Which means they have a limited amount of surplus capital they can have. They have to use most of the revenue they have. They didn't/don't have an owner with deep pockets to fall back on. When they signed White they had to use some of the money that was earmarked for other things that some didn't get done. Because of that it caused the packers to cry for a cap so they wouldn't have to use money earmarked for other things to pay for players. At that time the packers had to pay the upkeep of both their stadium but also help with the stadium upkeep in Milwaukee where they played some of their games. The stadium now known as Lambeau field was built by the city but the packers were/are responsible for all repairs, upkeep and improvement and additions to it. This is where most of their profits go after the expenses as a team they have to provide.
