Know what has a bigger impact on sports? Painkillers. And we just ignore that (especially in the NFL) while we're in the middle of an opoid epidemic. The stuff we choose to care about baffles me.

Right. The Minnesota Twins should absolutely refuse to play the New York Yankees until they get a cut of the gate. Not 50-50 of course, but the Twins are providing a value. And with TV driving the revenue train, the size of the local stadium doesn't really matter. The Cavs can draw more than the Knicks nationally despite being in Cleveland.
Revenue sharing doesn't mean revenue equality, but there are some revenues that need to be split because the other team is providing value.

Thursday Night football is a stain on the NFL and has hurt the league.

Same, and it sucks.
Last year it really hit me.
Still love the college game but the NFL is not as fun to me as it once was, and I am a massive NFL fan.

Free throws should be as automatic as college football extra points. Nothing about a free throw (the ball, the distance, the height of the goal) has changed at all in your life.

I'd go even further (and back to H Town's point) and say that revenue sharing enhances the value of the big market franchises above and beyond a non-revenue sharing structure. The owners are not stupid.
Because the Rays and Jays and Orioles exist and are semi-competitive, that increases the size of the pie significantly enough to where the Yankees and Red Sox are making out better than they would otherwise. Would you rather have $150 million out of a $300 million pie or $200 million out of a $500 million pie? That dynamic is even stronger in the NFL.
Individually A and B and C are worth less than if A and B and C enter into an agreement to share value.

LeBron James can't read. He acted like he was reading the Hunger Games during the 2011-2012 playoffs to get more support on social media.

I don't even know what this is supposed to mean 
You are still missing the point. I realize that in the media and among fans, revenue sharing and salary caps were intertwined as needed to make the competition "fair" particularly in baseball. But that is not why you share revenue. You share revenue because the product is the game, you need teams to play, the Yankees would not make as much as they do playing the Red Sox 162 times. It is easier and less costly to just split certain revenue like national TV deals 30 ways then to decipher who accounts for more.

Tebow is a great guy.
Romo was never a choke.
Mark Ingram is an above average NFL running back.
I like Colin Cowherd.
Al Michaels is an overated play by play guy.

The score bugs and the bottom line are the worst thing to happen to televised sports.

Lebron is the second best player of all time.
Steph Curry will never win a Finals again, barring another fluke run of luck with each team they play having significant injuries.
Stephen A. is right about most things.

agree on the NFL take. anybody who disagrees otherwise is lying in my opinion.
but as Corso would say... not so fast my friend!!!
the college game isn't the same either in my opinion. There are way too many politics in college football. The system is more complex than most other college sports as far as I know.
something fricking stinks.

Agree and disagree.
I feel the college game has just as many questionable stances as the NFL does.
both are all about the money.
and that's really disappointing to me on the CFB side.
the NFL.. you know what you're getting.
with college ball.. I feel like most people here bury their head in the sand.

American Pharoah only won the triple crown because of a weak crop his year.
Not unpopular but as a Cowboys fan firm believer they will not win another Super Bowl until Jerry dies.

Play a basketball player with foul trouble. It's rooted in the philosophy of the inability to have ones cake and eat it too. The player will sit on the bench with foul trouble or he will sit on the bench fouled out. If he fouls out, you played him for the maximum time you could play him

Goodell is a pos, the Patriots are cheaters, the NFL is a cartel, Rothelisberger is a rapist, Ray Lewis is a murderer.
