Further Proof the NFL becoming a "Corporation" is bad

Following the footsteps of the Packers, the Bucs have hired former White House mouthpiece Ari Fleischer to help spin the franchises movements (or lack thereof). When teams need to hire a guy of this caliber, it speaks volumes to their willingness to deceive fans and do whatever it takes to get away with keeping costs down yet raising ticket prices, merchandise, and in turn making it harder for us the consumer to enjoy our favorite sport. If the NFL becomes a corporation and continue to follow a business model as such, it will only be a matter of time before you see the results. The gap between the richest and poorest will grow, and how your ownership decides to practice their business will dramatically affect performance. At least under the former contract teams had to spend 100 million at minimum to ensure competition. Throw that out the window if the American Needle case passes.
