The NFL is not really a sports league- it's a money league. It uses football to sell merchandise and TV contracts. The games are produced in a style that is a watered down version of professional "wrestling". Players are paid to perform in tax-payer built stadiums before what amounts to a live studio audience. These players have little if anything to do with the city in which they play. At least college players attend classes at their universities and typically come from the state in which the university is located (by the way, the $50 million dollar renovation and expansion of the Swamp at UF was completely funded by private donation- when the NFL wants something new, it demands that the local tax-payers foot the bill).
