The Dallas Cowboys just broke another record that shows how much money flows through America’s favorite sport. The team is now worth a staggering 13 billion dollars, making it the most valuable sports team on the planet. That is more money than most countries make in a year.
This news comes as all 32 NFL teams hit new highs in value. The average team is now worth 7.1 billion dollars, which is 25 percent more than last year. Every single franchise made serious money, with the worst team still earning over 21 million dollars in profit.
The Cowboys have been the king of the hill for 19 straight years now. Owner Jerry Jones built an empire that keeps growing bigger and richer. While regular Americans struggle with high prices at the grocery store, NFL owners are counting billions.
The Los Angeles Rams joined the Cowboys in the exclusive 10 billion dollar club this year. These teams prove that smart business moves and hard work can create massive wealth. This is what the free market can do when it works right.
NFL owners are making money hand over fist because Americans love football more than anything. The league averaged 127 million dollars in operating income per team last season. Not one single team lost money, which shows how strong this business really is.
These sky-high values come from TV deals, ticket sales, and merchandise that fans buy like crazy. The NFL has become a money-making machine that never stops growing. Investors are fighting each other to buy pieces of teams because they know the profits keep coming.
While these numbers are impressive, they also show how far apart the rich and poor have gotten in America. NFL owners sit on billions while working families can barely afford game tickets. The American dream still works, but only for a very few people at the top.
The Cowboys success story proves that capitalism can create incredible wealth when done right. Jerry Jones took big risks and made smart choices that turned his team into a gold mine. This is the kind of winning that makes America great, even if most of us will never see that kind of money.
