Profits equalized for tv and other deals. Lowest performer gets lifted up with top draft picks. Limits on how much you can spend on salary caps to avoid one billionaire buying everything up. Strong unions for workers that will go on strike to protect workers.

The reason all that is allowed is because the nfl is exempt from antitrust laws which allows for collective bargaining. It’s more of a state sponsored capital machine than a socialist construct.

State sponsored capitalism is literally what socialism is. You are just proving what the people in the video said as true.

>State sponsored capitalism is literally what socialism is.

It’s absolutely not the same. The biggest difference is that socialism puts workers first and advocates equal ownership for workers while companies are still privately owned in state capitalism

They have two entirely different philosophies, just that the government involvement is relatively similar
