So Jerry Jones, justifiably, says, "Why am I subsidizing the NFL in Jacksonville?  It's nothing but corporate welfare, where the rich support the poor.  The Jaguars need to move to a city that is able to pull its weight financially."  

Back in the day, the league founders decided on revenue sharing because they believed that the health of the league benefited each team. It's part of what helped the NFL grow into the monster it's became. When owners like Jones and Daniel Snyder came along, they started to change the equation by prioritizing their individual franchises over the league in general. It shifted the paradigm of the teams off the field from partners to competitors. I guess whether that was a good shift or not depends on which franchise you own but it definitely put stress on the smaller market teams.
