This is satire but it would serve the NFL right if something like this did come to pass after the stunt they pulled in favor of tyranny and against religious freedom this past week.

Of course, the NFL already is largely socialist in design. Profit sharing, worse records yield high draft picks, millionaire union members, begging for the government to pay for their stadiums, etc.

I actually would like to see more “Green Bay Packers” - ie) community-owned teams.
Right now, the NFL is a cabal of a few owners, using tax-payer money, political and PR ability, to line their pockets.

As a Viking fan, I’m down with calling Packer fans Communists. :)

Sounds good to me; maybe now my Daytwah Lions can get more than “1-deep” in the playoffs?

I really like the Cube's all red Rubik's Cube, "equal outcome for all!".
I think last season was my last for NFL football. They are getting stupid with their new penalties and their threat to Arizona was the last straw.

Well here in Indiana, us taxpayers collectivized the Indiana Irsays (formerly known as the Baltimore Colts) for a $750m stadium.
Unfortunately we don’t get any of the profits.

Every team should get a trophy at the end of the year. It is only fair. It's my turn to decide what is fair! My turn, my turn, my turn.

A fine plan, comrade, but unfortunately the people aren't ready for its full inception. As a temporary measure - only temporary, mind you, until the people are better acquainted with the nuances of advanced social thought - the referees will receive all the points and distribute them according to the axioms of class solidarity and the proper management of the relations of production. There will, naturally, have to be quite a few more referees to see that all of the rules enacted by a benevolent state are applied, and certain...penalties...administered to players who object to the arrangement.
The necessity for the referees will diminish as the players gradually come to accept the precepts of social justice, and the referees as a class will slowly wither away, leaving behind them a new, fairer, and more equitable game. In the meantime, though...well, it will be very good to be a referee. Up the revolution!

The one thing I can agree with is with respect to advertising for particular team by wearing branded clothing.
Whenever I see some adult pot-bellied male sporting a $150 Patriots jersey or a $35 Jets cap, I want to scream out at him to have some pride and self-respect. You are not "on the team" just because you purchased some overpriced piece of merchandise. You are being a tool! You are also being a fool! Grow up.

City of Green Bay does not own the team. It is owned by hundreds of thousand of individual stockholders like myself.

Still love HS & college football, despite their often sordid shenanigans. But the NFL? Never more, quoting some Raven.

Why wasn't the NFL charged with extortion when they threatened the AZ Gov with pulling the SuperBowl if she didn't veto the bill?
