It’s no coincidence private equity firms are lining up to buy a piece of NFL franchises. They’re easily one of the best investments out there right now.

You have rabid, cross-generational fan bases, media revenue that is only going upward (save for Covid), and a favorable labor bargaining agreement that controls human resource costs as a flat % of revenue.

Just look at Jeff Lurie. He was laughed at for paying a record $185 million for the Eagles in the early 90s. They’re now worth $5 billion plus. Private equity firms would be hard pressed to compound money better than that.

I say the Eagles are worth $5billion plus--- alot! if a GD NBA team is worth $6, I would think the Eagles are worth $10 billion min!! That said I dont know what Washington went for recently

You’re right. I believe the Eagles just sold a minority stake at an $8 bn (with a b!) valuation.

The math is even better for Lurie!
