What exactly are you trying to say here?1. it's hard to shake the reputation of being a loser in professional sports, gives the opposing team even more ammunition
2. With free agency it no longer requires a new franchise to struggle through years of mediocrity trying to form a team with first round draft picks. If you have a new owner\team with deep pockets you can instantly contend
3. Greedy owners will do nothing to improve the product on the field as long as arses are filling the seats.
You're right. I think the last team to really win the old fashioned way was the Dallas Cowboys in that Hershel Walker trade. Talk about a deal! Nowadays, if you don't win, you're gone. Look at all the great NFL coaches/MLB managers who lose their jobs if they don't win in 3 years with a bad team. Their hands are tied. And people will always go to the games. But some owners are willing to lose money if it means they will win. The payroles of some of these teams are outrageous. And the disparity is growing. That is why the Milwakee Brewers will never win again under this current system. Profit/tv revenue sharing may be the answer...
