If only Jerry would come to the realization that he could make a lot more money if he would only start giving a damn about championships.

Unfortunately for us peon fans, this chart is the perfect illustration/reason why he doesn't.

Honestly, I thought what I was going to read is wins vs losses LOL I missed the big picture. Find it amazing that KC is so low with the Hunt family.

Wonder how they report their profits. Genearlly smart business owners like to play broke and don't like the spotlight on them and don't care about bragging rights.

His team gets richer every year despite the fact the Cowboys haven’t won a championship in almost 30 years. He realized a long time ago his team doesn’t need to win for him to make money.

As much as I dislike 'defending' Jerry Jones, it is necessary to throw some rationalization into a 'Jones is only football greedy' conversation. Per Sportico.com, which has an article that highlights this same graph also:

<snip>

The NFL cap was $208 million last year with teams also required to kick in more than $40 million apiece for player benefits, but the check teams received from the league office more than covered that expense. National revenue from media and sponsorship partners was $12 billion last year, or 64% of the league’s $17.8 billion in total revenue, which meant each team received nearly $375 million before selling a ticket, beer or local sponsorship. This season, that check is expected to approach $400 million.

The math is mathing if anyone looks closer at these huge numbers. What I wished more media or news outlets would investigate and publish about is what Jones makes OUTSIDE of the National Football League and anything directly connected with stadium events. It might then give observers something to contemplate more on how dependent Jones is for things considered valuable to him.

I love bragging about our owner’s money when other team’s fans brag about their team winning.

That's my thought too. Use of the stadium outside of football use?
Not like Atlanta has been good since, uh, 28-3.
Merch and a home football game are not the revenue source. Naming rights and endorsement deals. Selling access to inside the stadium is how he creates his cash cow. He only needs fans to advertise a sold out stadium. That kinda makes all those in attendance merely props
