Well, he does earn something from your TV rights to watch the game. Even if it’s over the air.
Can put a number on that? How much does Jerry get from one fan watching the game from home vs how much Jerry gets from a fan attending the game?
In case you're not aware.
Broadcast rights are divided evenly.
Merch sales are divided evenly.
Jerry gets 60% of ticket sales with the rest going into a pot to be divided evenly.
Jerry gets to keep all the concession and parking revenue.
So, yea. In the most technical sense Jerry is supported by me watching on my couch, but so is Lurie and every other owner, regardless of which teams I happen to be watching.
It's ridiculous to even compare the revenue Jerry gets from a single fan watching from home and buying no merch vs a fan who goes to the games and spend his/her money on merchandise.
The amount of "support" Jerry gets from you watching from home is roughly equal to the amount of influence a cow fart has on climate change.
