Detroit Lions 1 of 5 NFL teams not listed in Forbes’ top 50 most valuable sports franchises

Business magazine Forbes released their top 50 most valuable sports teams of 2016 on Wednesday. As we know, the NFL dominates almost every other global sports league in revenue. So, it should come as no surprise that 27 NFL franchises made their way onto the aforementioned list. However, not featured on that list is the Detroit Lions, who were valued at $1.44 billion last year. Also left off the list were the Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Los Angeles Rams and Oakland Raiders.

It’s not exactly shocking the Lions rank so low in the NFL in value.
