I am pretty sure the Dallas Cowboys had something great, something historic, and something respectable. Same as the New York Yankees.

For the love of the game, you should make sure the system would reward those who invest money in it, and those who spend effort marketing it.

As I said, that's what happened with those European football teams where the owners tried very hard to invest money in and push the fan base global. Why do you want to reward the lazy?
