Doc: 'The Cincinnati Bengals belong to you, the fans'

[THE PISTONS]

"The BrownTrust makes a case that, eventually, the Bengals will return to the financial situation they faced before we built them PBS. Even with revenue sharing and a salary cap, they won’t have the income to stay profitable."

So hypothetically, if I was running a subsidized business and I thought that the subsidy was going to eventually go away. (Revenue sharing is essentially a subsidy.) The best way to respond would be to make the highest quality product possible for the consumers. That would entail changing management team which would be hiring a GM and competent coaches.

To think that the Bengals respond to fear that their financial situation will get bad and not be profitable by being cheap...shows a lot.

IF you don't think you can make it in the NFL with revenue sharing and a salary cap that is a percentage of total revenue...you probably shouldn't own an NFL team.
