1. The Green Bay Packers released their annual financial statements so we can get an idea of the NFL’s health. The Packers have to share the information because they are a publicly-owned team, although the profits gets reinvested back into the franchise instead of dispersed among the shareholders.
For those concerned, the league is doing extremely well. I’ll completely overgeneralize, but there are effectively two streams of revenue: local and national. Local revenue is exactly what it sounds like- sales from tickets, the gift shops, and local broadcasts- while national revenue stems from national broadcast deals and the revenue sharing pool, which redistributes funds from "high revenue clubs" to the rest of the league.
