There are many more teams that would fold before the Packers if revenue sharing was dumped. The Jerry Jones model took revenue sharing and made it a significantly smaller share of total revenue when he was done selling his team locally. The Cowboys, Redskins and Patriots local revenue streams are the reason the Packers are about to name brand an ice skating rink in the Titletown District. Why don't they build an outdoor ice hockey rink?
The turn the media took in bashing Packer fans buying stock last go around proved two things: Mark Murphy is not Bob Harlan. But also that media folks, who cheered right along with the previous stock sale after the Super Bowl win, didn't understand a thing about the stock or the fans. No one bought it as an investment. No one was duped into thinking it was financial winner. Patler is right, it was purchased as about the most unique piece of memorabilia available to a fan base.
