My only issue with the salary cap has always been that it only works with good revenue sharing. Some teams make no profit and some teams make obscene profit. If you are a rich team in terms of profits, then you should definitely have a say so on what happens with the poorer teams if you are going to be sharing so much of your revenue. You can make a lot of correlation to a federal government. It is hard for a poor person to be competitive with a rich person, they just have to use their assets more wisely but even then they might be disadvantaged to do so. The more money you have, the more money you are able to generate (speaking from experience). What would the league be without it's poor teams? Quite a bit smaller, smaller national footprint. It would probably be just as big in the popular markets, but they would get less dollars from the national deals. It is a tough balance.
