They're probably go bankrupt. If it wasn't for the taxpayers they wouldn't make a lot same with other major sports teams. I wish it was like Germany where 51 percent of the team is owned by the fans. Eventhough Bayern Munich wins every year they still have high attendance in each teams.
Thats nothing new every type of business that attracts a large work force usually gets some type of public money. The NFL is just more up front. The taxes generated from a professional team keeps the city profitable just as cities give big companies tax breaks and benefits to open up a facility. See all the people that are trying to get Amazon second headquarters.
The ratings being down is way overblown. Compared to everything else on TV, NFL is fairly stable. It’s not as volatile as scripted and reality original shows both broadcast and cable airs. Sports is still the most watched thing on TV and NFL is undisputed king in the US.
still wayyyyy bigger than MLB and NBA lol, NFL is still king, plus the fact that you need to buy a package to watch games that aren't your home team, making it harder for casual fans or new fans, and there are tons of streaming websites (illegal obv) that NFL doesnt count viewers for.
No it is not overblown. It is just that they had such a high rating to begin with. So even though they lost a ton of viewers they are still the highest shows on TV. But still. Not overblown at all. They have lost a lot of money compared to what they were making. Also, I just wanted to add that my happiness resides in the misery of liberals knowing Trump is their president. I wake up every day with a great big smile on my face because I know liberals are suicidal.
Yes it is. It's not that hard to google. During the 2012-2013 TV Season the entire average of adults 18-49 Top 100 was 2.679 key demo including all sports and NFL. Last year 2017-2018 TV Season the average key demo was 1.953. That's a whopping 27% decrease in ratings. NFL's Sunday Night Football went from an average of 7.9 demo down to 6.2 demo. Only 19% off difference. Back in 2012-2013 season, to be in Top 50, you have to have 2.4 demo. Last year? 1.7 demo. 29% down over 5 years. TV ratings went down so much that NFL now holds 4 out of the top 10 most watched programs by key demo last year. Back in 2012-2013 season, it's just Sunday Night Football. Politics got nothing to do with this. TV is dying in general and NFL is holding better than the rest of it and Networks are willing to pay high price to get 18-49 demo eyeballs on their networks.
Football/basketball revenue pays for all of the other sports, which lose money (except some school's baseball teams profit). Then if you paid players, you have to pay the women too.
The big programs like Alabama, Ohio State, Texas, etc. do generate a profit. However, every college outside of that elite tier is a money loser. For instance, my school, UMass, left the MAC to become a jobber to those elite schools so they would stay with in budget.
"Why do athletes get paid so much?" This vid breaks down the billions of dollars sports generate. I want to show this video to anyone that thinks athletes make too much money.
Just because those numbers are insane doesnt mean the individual numbers isnt insane..you are using a larger figure to justify a smaller figure when both are egregious...
@@aarons194 but the players, and to a similar extent coaches, are the ones creating and displaying the "product" every time they go on the field. In order to perform well, and as consequence of good performances become more popular/produce mote revenue for the team, players have to condition their bodies 24/7/365, they have to learn all the plays, they have to put their bodies (and thus livelihoods) on the line each game to perform well. The majority of these athletes don't have any sort of degree or diploma to fall back on, so if they cant create a good enough product (perform well enough) they become unemployed. And When some of these players come from poor families and their whole family (aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews/nieces, grandparents, etc) depends on the player, that player is going to fight tooth and nail for the best contract they can get. Its not like every player gets a +100 Million contract, those are only reversed for what franchises believe to be the best of the best, for 1-2 players on a 52 man roster team, plus 10 PS players.
A Pro football player average is about 3-4 years. That usually means they are in their rookie deal. That is also if they make it to the NFL without being hurt in college. They take hits from elementary to college without getting paid. If they get a big injury they will never play in the NFL. (at least very slim chance). Their industry produces Billions of dollars. Not only that, but they are the very very very best at what they do. Imagine how much the very best doctor gets paid. Not only that, but these athletes put their careers on the line and their livelihood on the line every single game. These athletes are the very best at what they do, who bring in lots and lots of money, who's careers can end any day and not get compensated for it. If I was among the best in the world in something that brings in a lot of money, I'd want to get compensated well for it too. Anything else is....egregious....
They do though. People are starving and trying to squeeze by in life and meanwhile athletes make millions playing something they love. People work every day till they die and some dont see the kind of money athletes make in 2 games played lol. The world is so unfair and off balance it's not even funny.
Brew311 What hurt the NFL , they allowed the field to get involved in DNC / GOP talking points that has alienated 1/2 their audience. The reduction in audience is reducing the value of TV rights , that said Football is one of the few products that people still watch in real time.
Beachdudeca Agreed. It is a combination I think of two things. One is that it became perceived as Anti American which turned off key demographics which were most passionate about the league (like me), and the other factor is that it went soft. In the 80s heyday of the NFL it was smash mouth football.
not really the numbers show a drop in price for the ads , that means the contracts are worth less , www.broadcastingcable.com/news/ad-prices-down-most-nfl-broadcasters-169895 data her from 2017 , in the end its really just about how much money the NFL can pocket so it depends how slim of a margin the networks will accept for access to the audiences
The NFL needs to do more deals like the Amazon one to allow people to legally stream the games. They would make a lot more money rather than forcing people to tune in right when people are ditching their cable subscriptions
@@DiamondForger Netflix, Hulu, UA-cam, Amazon, all of them and w/e other services I might be forgetting. The thing here is to get more eyeballs on screens and ramping up the amount of ways to watch the games is the best way to do that. Hulu would probably be the next logical choice since Disney essentially owns Hulu (60% share ownership) and they already have a deal in place on the ESPN and ABC side of things for Monday games. So just extend streaming rights to Hulu since they have TV broadcasting rights as well. It's a no-brainer.
@@64cgfan my nearest broadcasting station is about 60 miles away if I want to catch that signal, which also would require me to have to elevate an antenna since the woods that are next to my house make it impossible to stick anything on the windows or the roof itself. Also, that's local games only, and I don't follow any of the local teams, so I'd have to get Sunday ticket which is about $200+ a season, that lets me play out of market games, but only out if market games since they refuse to play games that are local since those are broadcast OTA. Which is why a Hulu NFL games package would work best and it could be paired with Hulu TV as well, that way I can have all the games in one app and probably at a cheaper price.
Gary I’ve lost a lot of respect for the nba when they started to ads on the jersey. I wouldn’t mind it they offset to the us making the tickets cheaper but nope
Any reason why the NFL has become so much more popular? According to the Patriots owner, 10 yrs ago football was a minority in the top 100 shows of the month but now? The NFL by far is the most popular thing to watch on tv.
You also have to consider the rising popularity internationally, espacially in europe. The London games are sold out in minutes and here in Germany the popularity has exploded in the past 4 years since the show games on public television now. The demand is so high that they even start showing college starting this year. NFL has no problems what so ever
Wow that’s crazy. Yes I know the international market is a huge contributor. The Cowboys would not be worth $5Billion without it. I expect NFL Europe to make a return 10 years from now: my opinion.
Which proves how stupid and boring people are football is so boring the best, toughest, and most exciting sports are mlb and motorsports NASCAR and indycar
@@Bruno-ok3th dude you Europeans needs to get off that stupid Handegg bs. It's called football because it was born out of a Rugby game and soccer is what the English called "football," when it was brought to America.
They called it fifa and fisa. What if we just rebrand your sport eggthrowball NEL. Do u like? Soccer doesnt exist It gives football and american football
Interesting, so that’s why nfl merchandising revenue is split between teams, because they have insane overhead and most teams don’t have the money to keep up
Good video. I like the way you broke everything down/crunched the numbers for us/anyone to understand. 👍 I was just gonna say that the "TV Deals" the NFL has is incredible, it's a "Cash 🐄", NFL's making a killing from them Nationally Televised Games.
Now I understand how a 6'5" 335 lbs man can get 12.5 million a year; when in the real world that man would probably be making 11 dollars an hour in Tennessee.
You should do a piece on the MLS and their bid process along with revenue sharing and fee splitting. May as well cover homegrown withing salary cap and designated players that are outside of said cap.
Despite 67000 less high school players play the game, there is a rising popularity of the NFL and playing the sport in Europe, Asia and even Russia. That helps a lot
It's both. They are non-profit, but the stock is only available when the team is allowed to sell stock, it's not traded in the same way most business stocks are.
Andrew Hicks The average waiting time is 25 years. It can take up to 40 years for tickets. Plus, if you do get season tickets, you have to put down a deposit for the number of tickets you get for the season for each game. They are not cheap.
Maybe we should own a percentage since WE PAY FOR THE STADIUM WITH OUR TAXES!!! At the very least receive PSL seats or free tickets. Just think of how many starving people the salaries would feed or how many homes for our homeless vets could be bought.
You are forgetting all the local businesses benefit from having a stadium and all the employees who have jobs because of it. Putting money down for a stadium is an investment into the city itself
We the spectators need the NFL. Something to cheer for since our personal lives sucks. A mans game, call it an emotional constructive HIGH. The NFL only going to richer and better.
I don’t understand why MetLife is paying 19 mill a year just to have its name on the stadium . I can’t see them making up the 19 mill just from a name on a stadium
@@chrisschafer9137 kind of like Wrigley Field in Chicago? Where despite the Wrigley Company not sponsoring the stadium name anymore, its exposure for when it did remains??
19M/year, where the company's name is on display year around as well as on TV, is easier to justify than $1 million for a 30 sec commercial during the SuperBowl. Companies spend billions in advertising and marketing. For example, Coca-Cola's marketing budget for 2017 was $ 4 Billion. Naming rights is just 1 form of advertising. MetLife probably spends 100-300 Million a year in TV ads (globally) so $19 M is drop in the bucket.
Because it's like having a naming rights deal for two Separate stadiums, since two teams play there theoretically there should be twice as much foot traffic in the facility just from the NFL games played. Thus the NYG and NYJ said youre paying for both our teams benefit of exposure
What really needs to be done is for the NFL to create a Stadium fund that would kick in 1.5 billion dollars a year to two teams. Each team is ordered by the last time their stadium was renovated, or built. The newest stadiums (Las Vegas & San Diego/LA) would be at the back of the line. Then give 1B to the "New stadium" fund for the team that is at the top of the list, and 500M to the #16 team. Rotate the teams every year and just sequester the money out of TV and other NFL revenues. It is time that WE THE PEOPLE stop funding the stadiums and let the NFL pay for their own renovations/stadiums.
@@todoldtrafford Kapernick is far from a proffesional individual. Somebody who relies on false pretences is somebody who doesn't belong in a professional sports league and is it any wonder that everybody was soo up in arms when Kapernick was fired by the NFL? The NFL is a private business that reserves the right to fire and hire who ever they want!
They need to do what soccer teams do. The most annoying part of nfl games are the constant commercials. I hate it so much that I record most of my games just to skip the commercials.
@My League its not boring at all football now that's a boring sport NASCAR is extremely fast paced and exciting dont believe me just go check out the way todays race went especially the finish Or the Darlington race in 03 or the Chicagoland race this past July
@My League also i want to add racing such as NASCAR you dont have any idea what to expect either with late race cautions wrecks photo finishes battles for the lead drivers beating and banging on each other drivers can run out of fuel on the last lap blown engines it is every bit as unpredictable as any other sport you need to get a clue
Mr. Orange and Blue that’s not happening. There’s no stadium issue which is the #1 reason teams move. And guess what city is stingy about building a new stadium? Oh yeah St. Louis...
Just like MLB... Teach young minds a sport that most don't have an opportunity to play as an adult so they end up watching it on television. Pretty simple actually.
@@SachinKumar-sf4zj considering those "balck" slaves are richer than you will ever be who is the real slave? How much do you make per hour? 10 -15 dollars 😂😂😂
just about 2 seconds prior them mentioning revenue when the stadiums aren't used for football I was thinking about that. I just thought to myself I wonder if concerts are held when football isn't. I live in Oregon. We only have Blazers basketball. So I never know how other stadiums are used.7-2-19
Why are NFL teams worth so much? Because it's almost impossible to lose money owning an NFL team. Their profit ceiling is somewhat limited, but their floor is above zero. Think about it, the Lions are in one of America's poorest cities and constantly lose and yet even they manage to turn a profit.
@@anishbhadani4723 bettering the community imao.....tax are raised in the city to build new stadium so billionnaire owner dont have to spend a thing, yet they keep everything they earn from their stadium,
Fascinating - yet you forgot the tax breaks that pro sports teams receive. Each team can depreciate their players in the same way that a corporation can depreciate company equipment. Like how a farmer can depreciate a tractor, or a construction company can depreciate bulldozers. Each NFL player's salary is depreciated over a 5 year period with the IRS - so at the end of 5 years - the NFL owner gets a 100% write-off on a player's salary if the player signs a 5 year contract.
I want to know what comes out of the owners pocket and what they actually pay for. For instance... Does the money not spent on an indoor practice facility in Cincinnati go right into the owners pocket? Like...?
I think by this point, it is pretty common knowledge that the NFL doesn't give a Kentucky Fried F--- about the fans, and hasn't for the better part of the last thirty years. And this perfectly explains why.
Way to go: you avoiding mentioning the detrimental effect that greedy owners constantly moving their teams is having on regional markets, not to mention the millions of dollars they get in public money for their stadiums. But as a reporter, I guess you have to strike a balance between relaying the truth and continued access eh?
The Lions operating revenue is down because they made a 100M investment in stadium upgrades in 2016. The nfl has a loan program where you can borrow against your local revenue for stadium investments. So the Ford family is giving up concessions, concert money etc, in exchange. That contributed to the low operating revenue for 2017. Also, our team sucks.

WOW I had no idea the Packers were non-profit.
Socialist team lol
Andrew Hicks The list is about 40 years to get a Seat and they are not Free
How do people not know this? It’s common knowledge
Andrew Hicks The average waiting time is 25 years. It can take up to 40 years for tickets. Plus, if you do get season tickets, you have to put down a deposit for the number of tickets you get for the season for each game. They are not cheap.
@@theDavidChannel1 it's not just the Packers. The whole league is socialist as it's a closed-system league.
Coronavirus : im about to end this man whole career
Seems like they rushed to the ending lol
Great video - please update with more detail and current numbers!
While I watched the video I couldn’t help but think of BALLERS the show on hbo lol
Same here bro ,my favorite show
32 teams received more than $255M in 2018. That’s a nice spread of wealth, good to see that socialism does work.
Maybe we should own a percentage since WE PAY FOR THE STADIUM WITH OUR TAXES!!! At the very least receive PSL seats or free tickets. Just think of how many starving people the salaries would feed or how many homes for our homeless vets could be bought.
Yep
You are forgetting all the local businesses benefit from having a stadium and all the employees who have jobs because of it. Putting money down for a stadium is an investment into the city itself
BEAUTIFUL EXPLAINER ANIMATIONS AND CONCISE $ breakdowns!
We the spectators need the NFL. Something to cheer for since our personal lives sucks. A mans game, call it an emotional constructive HIGH. The NFL only going to richer and better.
What's that beat playing at 4:20 ??
Please make a video on how The Greeen Bay Packers became a non-profit organization.
great piece! can you do one on the NBA and the MLB as well?
Trump needs to watch the video
Great video and very interesting take! Dallas Cowboys fee seems like chump change today haha
I don’t understand why MetLife is paying 19 mill a year just to have its name on the stadium . I can’t see them making up the 19 mill just from a name on a stadium
Chris Schafer but how does the exposure of the stadium name make up the 19 mill?
@@chrisschafer9137 kind of like Wrigley Field in Chicago? Where despite the Wrigley Company not sponsoring the stadium name anymore, its exposure for when it did remains??
19M/year, where the company's name is on display year around as well as on TV, is easier to justify than $1 million for a 30 sec commercial during the SuperBowl. Companies spend billions in advertising and marketing. For example, Coca-Cola's marketing budget for 2017 was $ 4 Billion. Naming rights is just 1 form of advertising. MetLife probably spends 100-300 Million a year in TV ads (globally) so $19 M is drop in the bucket.
Because it's like having a naming rights deal for two Separate stadiums, since two teams play there theoretically there should be twice as much foot traffic in the facility just from the NFL games played. Thus the NYG and NYJ said youre paying for both our teams benefit of exposure
tax breaks
I heard the city of Las Vegas or the taxpayers paid $700M and half of it comes from the owner to build the Raiders/Allegiant Stadium. Crazy!
A 95 year old woman owns the Chicago Bears
I offered them double what they paid and they turned it down. Stupid old lady
inheritance is different than owning or purchasing. Chicago Bears are the Original Charter Franchise
She is George Halas's daughter & she is the majority owner of the team while other family members own a percentage of team too.
5:15 that’s my team. Woot woot.
My dream job is to own a nfl or mlb team
I will start with small league ownership
If i was rich i would buy a race team in my favorite sport NASCAR
my dream job is to be a dictator
Roman Reigns where would you even start
You need to do something else to make enough money to buy a team.
Thanks for the numbers. Very well done
I predict by 2035 the NFL will cease to exist due to CTE lawsuits. Any player who plays today will be affected.
i would rule out Prophet as an occupation pal
Excellent video very informative
⚠️ *WARNING: These comments are going to be nasty.* ⚠️
Greg Caesar I dont see much nastiness. I am reasonably concluding that most people think the NFL hit its peak and is slowly dying.
Dirty Diapers.
Right off the bat with the Vice/Vox vibe. Just tell the relevant stuff.
*TRIGGERED!*
David Duarte yyyyuuupppp...🙄
Can you do an NHL one
Jersey Joe yes please
It’s pretty much the same thing, just smaller numbers
Or maybe a video on why the NHL as a whole makes pennies versus every other North American league.
because no one will click on it, and it would be a waste of time for the narrator.
What really needs to be done is for the NFL to create a Stadium fund that would kick in 1.5 billion dollars a year to two teams.
Each team is ordered by the last time their stadium was renovated, or built. The newest stadiums (Las Vegas & San Diego/LA) would be at the back of the line.
Then give 1B to the "New stadium" fund for the team that is at the top of the list, and 500M to the #16 team. Rotate the teams every year and just sequester the money out of TV and other NFL revenues.
It is time that WE THE PEOPLE stop funding the stadiums and let the NFL pay for their own renovations/stadiums.
How is what President Trump said count as condemning the NFL? Honestly.. even you make football political
Technically he made it political when he started going after football player's non-violent protests
No kaepernick made it political. Protesting at someone else’s business is so professional. Grow up
@@todoldtrafford Kapernick is far from a proffesional individual. Somebody who relies on false pretences is somebody who doesn't belong in a professional sports league and is it any wonder that everybody was soo up in arms when Kapernick was fired by the NFL? The NFL is a private business that reserves the right to fire and hire who ever they want!
They need to do what soccer teams do. The most annoying part of nfl games are the constant commercials. I hate it so much that I record most of my games just to skip the commercials.
This was really informative
Football is not going away any time soon. It will be around long after Trump is out of office.
And more importantly so will the 2 sports better than football MLB and NASCAR
@@rcracer8872NASCAR isn't a sport...
@My League its not boring at all football now that's a boring sport
NASCAR is extremely fast paced and exciting dont believe me just go check out the way todays race went especially the finish
Or the Darlington race in 03 or the Chicagoland race this past July
@My League also i want to add racing such as NASCAR you dont have any idea what to expect either with late race cautions wrecks photo finishes battles for the lead drivers beating and banging on each other drivers can run out of fuel on the last lap blown engines it is every bit as unpredictable as any other sport you need to get a clue
@My League NASCAR is the best sport in the world football and basketball are just a game
Bobby "Massage" Kraft at the end of video speaking. 😂 😂
Some teams need to relocate. St.Louis Lions?
Mr. Orange and Blue that’s not happening. There’s no stadium issue which is the #1 reason teams move. And guess what city is stingy about building a new stadium? Oh yeah St. Louis...
@@Dasanie not if the Lions want one to move.
Literally a new stadium with a pride of lions statue.
well they dont...
Best fit for st Louis is Steelers
Hyungjin Sean Moon = 2nd KING
Gotta throw trump in there. At least you're not obsessed with him CNBC.
Just like MLB... Teach young minds a sport that most don't have an opportunity to play as an adult so they end up watching it on television. Pretty simple actually.
They don't make money off me anymore. I quit the NFL after they rigged Super Bowl 52.
you consider shad khan white?
Shad Khan is as brown as turd, he isn't white.
The NFL is like a hydra You killed one two will take your place
@@SachinKumar-sf4zj considering those "balck" slaves are richer than you will ever be who is the real slave? How much do you make per hour? 10 -15 dollars 😂😂😂
@Rowdy Jr. Lol real talk 👏
just about 2 seconds prior them mentioning revenue when the stadiums aren't used for football I was thinking about that. I just thought to myself I wonder if concerts are held when football isn't. I live in Oregon. We only have Blazers basketball. So I never know how other stadiums are used.7-2-19
Just saying these numbers are penny worth for the indian IPL
Teams owners
Why are NFL teams worth so much? Because it's almost impossible to lose money owning an NFL team. Their profit ceiling is somewhat limited, but their floor is above zero. Think about it, the Lions are in one of America's poorest cities and constantly lose and yet even they manage to turn a profit.
I hope the NFL goes out of business...I'm glad they took the chargers out of San Diego..NFL sucks..
Lmao what’s wrong with you guys
They are providing entertainment and bettering the community... what’s wrong with that?
Well its here to stay deal with it
@@anishbhadani4723 bettering the community imao.....tax are raised in the city to build new stadium so billionnaire owner dont have to spend a thing, yet they keep everything they earn from their stadium,
NFL is amazing
Do players get a portion of the money from their jersey’s purchased?
No
Basketball players yes by their 👟 $$$$
Yes they do
How exactly are the Bears worth 2.9 Bill when they could not even score 1 TD this past Thursday night?
Its actually split 31 ways because jerry jones opted the cowboys out of that deal.
Marketing is everything!!
Ticket prices are ridiculous for NFL games.
Informative. Thank you
Fascinating - yet you forgot the tax breaks that pro sports teams receive. Each team can depreciate their players in the same way that a corporation can depreciate company equipment. Like how a farmer can depreciate a tractor, or a construction company can depreciate bulldozers. Each NFL player's salary is depreciated over a 5 year period with the IRS - so at the end of 5 years - the NFL owner gets a 100% write-off on a player's salary if the player signs a 5 year contract.
robert kraft sounds like he just got a massage
The nfl will keep making money. its not just about tv ratings
Yes it is
Just remember Pablo escobar made 420M$ a week. He could buy all the NFL teams if he was still alive
Talk about franchise fee inflation from a $100 in 1920 to $700 million in 2002 for a franchise fee that is a high barrier to entry.
Interesting report, the Incomestatistik of the Franchises, and the Collegeplayernumber is decreasing since 10 Years.
I want to know what comes out of the owners pocket and what they actually pay for. For instance... Does the money not spent on an indoor practice facility in Cincinnati go right into the owners pocket? Like...?
I think by this point, it is pretty common knowledge that the NFL doesn't give a Kentucky Fried F--- about the fans, and hasn't for the better part of the last thirty years. And this perfectly explains why.
You should make a video about lacrosse
Damn If I win the lottery I will buy a nfl team
Way to go: you avoiding mentioning the detrimental effect that greedy owners constantly moving their teams is having on regional markets, not to mention the millions of dollars they get in public money for their stadiums. But as a reporter, I guess you have to strike a balance between relaying the truth and continued access eh?
All those dollars from sponsors and tv ads come from the pockets of consumers
1:42 Americas True team - Owned by the fans! GO PACK GO
Can you please make a video on EPL & IPL
The Lions operating revenue is down because they made a 100M investment in stadium upgrades in 2016. The nfl has a loan program where you can borrow against your local revenue for stadium investments. So the Ford family is giving up concessions, concert money etc, in exchange. That contributed to the low operating revenue for 2017. Also, our team sucks.
I watched this video while kneeling
no relegation, the worst team will always be in the top league, so sponsors can take more risks, more money and the league is locally focused
No tax because NFL is "Entertainment" ?
