Yeah, I fear that it's not good that NFL teams are toys to a significant portion of owners. I guess I couldn't say for sure, but my instincts tell me that it's better to have a league of owners for whom the football team is their major asset.

Eh, in retrospect that can't be many owners, though. It's not like the Hunts or Ralph Wilson built their wealth from football.
