So the - He owns the business and can do what he wants...doesn't apply.
And...to say an NFL owner doesn't care about his customers and then call him a good businessman... Good business people ALWAYS care about the customers.
Have you ever heard of an NFL owner losing money? It doesn't happen, because the salary cap is set at a percentage of total revenue. The owners are essentially guaranteed a profit.
The good owners, who want to win...manipulate the salary cap and invest a little more into their product so they can field a better team.
They are not "essentially" guaranteed a profit, they are completely guaranteed profit. The biggest thing you over looked is the television deals which generate massive sums of money.
