Something's going on, and it's gnawing at me

Merchandising revenue is a drop in the bucket.

Yes. That's how Billionairs usually view money they are missing out on. Like when their tax rate changes by 4% on income. They really don't care at all or fight for the low rate because it's just a drop in the bucket.

Doesn't mean they aren't interested in CHANGING that. Having one team hold so much sway can't make the other owners happy. If they could decrease that teams popularity and shift it over to other teams, that would be better for them. Holding Dallas down, while hurting them a little bit now, would help them later and soothe their own inflated egos to boot.

If the team's popularity hasn't decreased in the past 20 years, it's not going to decrease.

So yes billionaires will risk the integrity of a 10 billion dollar entity because of what amounts to a drop in the water.

Billionaires generally don't cut off their nose to spite their face.

Also I'm in the highest income bracket and on top of that live in Cali. Income taxes suck!

They have already proven they have no risk or fear in harming the integrity of the game in anything they do.
Lieing to thousands of players for years and years about concussion effects proves that.

Many literally do cut off their noses. Partially.

Yes. Many of the Billionaires care about every dollar they aren't making. Less Cowboys fans could lead to fans rooting for and buying other teams merchandise. Which is good for business. As another poster pointed out.

It's possible. I don't like to be neive and discount any possibility. Especially when it's based on trusting people do the sensible or right thing.

The Wall Street collapse is a good example of cutting off ones nose. "Sure there's a risk the entire world economy could collapse but I can make a lot of money reguardless" Now that could and would eventually hurt them too. The risk seemed worth it.

It's all about avoiding disclosure, principally Goodell's salary. Hard to ask the public to finance stadiums in cash strapped cities when the fat man is pulling down $50 million.
