Quote:This is the NFL.  They are all multi-billionaires.  IF they are leaning on the refs to rig games, their only likely motivation is to do it to get better TV ratings in big markets or better merch sales to bigger fanbases.  I really hope they are not that corrupt.  But if they were, Khan's personal wealth and investment matters zero.  All that matters is the size of Jacksonville and the number of Jaguars fans, and neither of those measurements will ever come out in the Jaguars' favor.

 

 

From a revenue perspective, the Jaguars are possibly the least saturated market in the NFL and are being groomed to sell to the international crowd. Whereas the Jets have been around forever and have maybe the least potential to grab new fans.

 

Yes, all the owners are rich, but there's definitely a hierarchy. Shad Khan is currently the 6th richest owner in the league and could literally buy the poorest 5 owners outright.

 

I don't believe the game is rigged. I'm just saying if it was, it would be to maximize potential earnings and not because a certain team is 'hated'.
