NFL "franchise"

Owners are competing with each other.  They want as many others to fail as possible.  They love having a consistently weak team to compete against.

The NFL is a revenue sharing oligopoly so I'd figure the owners that can't build their brand or fill their stadium come off as ungrateful leeches to the big money teams.  

I just can't imagine Mike Brown and Dan Snyder and the expansion Browns are super popular for being bad.  Would the NFL owners be upset if someone else bought the Bengals and started building the brand value and bringing more revenue to the collective pot?

I don't know the details, I just feel like more empty stadiums and failing franchises that are convincing their fans to turn off the TV and do yard work would concern other owners.
