I (not the original poster) have no problem with that at all.
However the history of the Giants does show that intelligence and integrity are not hereditary.
In most other lines of business, when one franchisee totally screws itself with the customers, the home office is able to kick sufficient butt to solve the problem. Unfortunately the NFL is not so structured.
But for the life of me, I cannot understand why they didn't put a retractable roof on that thing. Coulda had the Superbowl every 7-8 years or so!
The NFL is actually more structured than you might think in a lot of ways. They don't go out and broadcast this all over the place, but the NFL commissioner has powers that would be unheard of in any other business organization of that size.
There's a fascinating story I've heard about the Giants themselves related to this. Back in the late 1970s the team was performing so poorly on the field -- to the point of being tragically comical -- that Pete Rozelle allegedly told the Mara family that he would exercise his authority as NFL commissioner and force them to sell the team (in the best interests of the National Football League) if the team didn't shape up. His concern was that the NFL needed to have two competitive, well-run teams in the nation's largest media market.
It was Rozelle who basically named George Young as the team's GM in 1979 . . . and the rest is history.
