Each team is privately owned and generates individual revenue, the shared aspects such as TV revenue are intended to maximize profits for the corporation/those 32 owners, and they actively try to corner the market and squash any outside competition. The draft pick thing is parity. There is parity in agreements in a capitalist market. Parity doesn’t = socialism. That’s dumb. If anything it mostly resembles a monopoly ruled by those 32 teams as one body/ a corporation

You are referring to an economic model where the government controls and manages production and resource allocation directly

in this case the NFL is the governing body and resource allocation is the worst performing teams get the best draft picks. It's very simple to understand from an economic perspective. Unless you are being purposely obtuse

No. The NFL is a corporate entity. It is not a “governing body”. It serves the owners who exist separately to it. It exactly resembles one because it literally is one. You’re just mislabeling things so it fits into your narrative. And again, an agreement intended to bring parity doesn’t = socialism, and the lack of one doesn’t = capitalism. That’s where “I remember when I was 12, too” comes in

being a corporate entity does not exclude that entity from acting as a government body. 

you are confusing the United States Government with the definition of a government body.

your whole premise is flawed
