I suspect more African Americans buy more NFL merchandise per capita than middle aged and old white guys. I thought I read somewhere that blacks don't buy jerseys of white players. You'll never see a black person wearing a Tom Brady jersey for example, even if they're a Bucs fan.

1. Tax incentives is one thing. How many of those other companies get direct taxpayer funding to actually
build the facilities where they conduct businesses? 2. There is a major difference between a manufacturing or IT-related business and a sports team. The Toyota Motor Manufacturing plant in San Antonio, for example, has almost 4,000 full-time employees. And that doesn't even include the thousands of people employed at other nearby businesses that wouldn't be there without Toyota. There isn't a professional sports team in North America that comes close to this when it comes to local economic impacts.
3. Of all the different types of sports venues you can consider, an NFL stadium has got to be the absolute worst when it comes to its value to a local economy. Even if it is home to a team that makes a deep run into the playoffs every year and hosts 30-40 other events every year not related to the NFL (concerts, soccer games, etc.), the place is going to be dark for more than 300 days of the year. Nobody is going to invest in a project across the street from that stadium under those circumstances.

Most of the Brady jerseys here in NE are worn by women.
Especially Moms.
Although, there were a lot of dogs named Brady.
The boys from the hood all wear Raiders gear.
I think Dallas Cowboys gear is still sold more than any other team paraphernalia. Frankly, it does not matter which team product you buy. It gets equally divided among all the franchises.

A lot. They don’t tend to be as direct as they are with the stadiums. But they regularly use eminent domain to clear large tracts of land. Redo freeways to make large buildings there usable.
I’m not saying cities SHOULD do that for sports teams. I’m saying I don’t blame sports team owners for taking advantage of the situation. If I could get multiple cities bidding to build me a new house I’d do it. Not my fault their city councils are stupid.

I think technically the NFL is a oligopoly. All teams share equally in the profits of the league. This is why a small market team like Buffalo or Green Bay can even still have a franchise. When some soccer mom in MA buys a Brady jersey, every team gets 1/32 of the profit. Unlike MLB where one teams salary can be 5x another teams. Which is why I am so glad that the Dodgers lost. Next, I hope the Yankees lose. Not just because I am a Red Sox fan either. I want to see the Padres or Philly's win.

Had to hunt for an old snippet just to remind myself: https://apnews.com/ed7f3f9828aac425e958f14fee54cb1d
From 1996: Picking on Dallas owner Jerry Jones after New York’s surprising victory over the Cowboys was fun for Giants owner Wellington Mara. "As I said, it’s always nice to see arrogance humbled," a smiling Mara said Monday in jabbing at the maverick owner. "I enjoy it very much. I wouldn’t mind if you used that quote."
