The Bengals ARE their business, and unfortunately I think they view this team more as a business than anything else. Not saying that other owners aren't in it for money, but for many of them, owning a team is almost like a hobby...and many of them understand the "serving the public" aspect of owning a sports franchise. 

Mike couldn't give a rip about the fans or their perception of him. 

Revenue sharing makes that possible. They get 1/32 of the pie regardless of performance.

IF we start a business and sell a poor quality product, people won't buy it and we go out of business. Thus, there is incentive to cater to needs of consumers.

In the NFL, they are insulated from market pressures.

Other NFL owners own their team as a prestige thing and want to invest every penny. They want to try to find ways around the salary cap to spend more money. They hold coaches accountable. Not here.
