Yes, The NFL Is Still Making Assloads Of Money

Deadspin

Even if it sometimes feels like we’ve already hit peak NFL, the league’s biggest source of revenue is guaranteed and ever-increasing. And those national television deals are so massive, that it’s just about impossible for an owner not to turn huge profits, no matter how often they cry poverty—$244 million goes to each and every NFL team, just for being on TV.

Our only window, smudged as it is, into the NFL’s books comes from the financial disclosures required of the publicly owned Green Bay Packers. Those disclosures for the fiscal year ending March 31 were released yesterday, and they’re rosy for the Packers and for the league.

The Packers received $244 million as their equal share of the NFL’s national revenue, most of which comes from TV contracts but which also includes road-game revenue sharing. Multiply that by the 32 teams, and that means NFL disbursed $7.8 billion in national revenue—a 9.6 percent increase from the previous year.

The Packers also disclosed an additional $197.4 million in local revenue—that’s what they pulled in on their own last year, between ticket sales, merchandising, and sponsorships—for a grand total of $441.4 million. The exact numbers for other teams’ local revenue isn’t available, but Paul Baniel, vice president of finance and administration, said the Packers are ninth in the league.
