"The tiny market Green Bay Packers can compete with the LA Rams."
I haven't been to a game there, but I have been to Lambeau Field. It blew me away.
It is literally just a stadium in a neighborhood ( this was back in the 80s ).
While it is a big stadium, it reminded me of how as a kid growing up, every neighborhood
in my town had a school, and a football field, and the fields were hopping on
Friday nights and Saturday afternoons. My old hometown is most definitely not
like that anymore.
Without revenue sharing, there is no way that the GB franchise would not have been
wooed away by some large metro area hungry for an NFL team. I am not a Packer fan
( long suffering Lion's fan who would pull for the Packers as soon as Lion's were
eliminated from playoff possibility, lol ) but luv how they are able to have an
NFL team in such a small market. In MLB, the small market teams are basically
a feeder program for the Dodgers and Yankees and Mets. Not the case in the NFL.
