Forbes' Most Valuable NFL Teams

(image credit)

The National Football League remains the most lucrative sports league in the world by far. Each team, on average, is valued at $1.17 billion. How has the NFL done it? (a) Carved out rich TV deals. (b) Built state-of-the-art stadiums (no doubt, to execute business models sharply). (c) Hard salary cap for players.

Is there any questioning that football is America's past time?
