Mara instituted the policy of revenue sharing when he, as a NY owner, was in a position to benefit most from preventing it. Mara could easily have been the NFL Steinbrenner but cared more about the game.
Hunt accomplished some great things but revenue sharing was not among them.

Read Mara's bio, he became an owner when he was 14 years old and built the NFL.
