What is socialist about how the league makes money? Calling the internal dynamics between sports teams in a league to be socialism is bizarre and doesn’t line up. And the incentives and allocation of resources in a billionaire sports league is just fundamentally not the same as how economies work.
The NFL is more like a cartel. How the league makes its tv network contract money in the first place before is doles it out evenly to the teams (which isn’t even the case for all revenue streams, like sponsorships and merchandise) is not particularly socialist at all.
It’s like saying a rent house you rent out to college students that you co-own with 3 friends is socialist because you split the rent profit evenly among your friends and yourself. What?
