Tigers6884 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 They're all greedy, so there is no good answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I think you'll need to start defining your terms. MLS has relatively low season ticket prices, but sells ad space on their shirts. The NFL makes season ticket holders buy preseason games at the same price per. Most MLB teams have at least some very reasonable ticket prices, but stadium walls are festooned with ads.How would you quantify any of this? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

OnWis97 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 It's really hard to qualify much less quantify this.Your above MLS example on low prices probably just illustrates the current market value (i.e., interest) anyway. The all want to maximize profit."League with fewest egregious examples of greed" may be better, but they all have 'em.I hate to say it but it would be easier to discuss "most" greedy. And even then, it's kind of a tie..."Most egregious examples" is probably the only thread that could really last... Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

woodshackzac Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I'd say the least greedy league is the NHL. FC BAYERN MUNCHEN-MICHIGAN STATE-THE DETROIT FOUR-WASHINGTON REDSKINS-LA LAKERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phils Phan Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 I'd say the least greedy league is the NHL.The league with board ads, playing surface ads, CG ADS ON GLASS, two twenty minute intermissions, essentially soon every stadium's naming rights sold?

Gothamite Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 So Phils Phan, you seem to have already given this some consideration.

bosrs1 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Which professional sports league out there appears to be the least money-grubbing?What do you mean by money grubbing? They're all out to maximize their profits while minimizing overhead which is what all businesses do. So not sure what you're trying to get at. All of them would sell their figurative souls for bigger profits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "selling their figurative souls for bigger profits" is probably the best way to look at this, but the answer is still all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterchaoss Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I can say that Soccer has the least annoying examples I'm not getting commercial but I have to live with ads which if done right can go unnoticed.

WSU151 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Even if you could identify the "least greedy" sports league...how would that information help anyone? Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Which professional sports league out there appears to be the least money-grubbing?The one whose owner is seeking the least amount of power. But anyone in charge of anything always does it for power, control, and domination.With that said, any owner would try to gain as much of it as possible, if given the oppurtunity. They are all naturally competitive. They want to maximize profit, but not to increase personnal wealth. They all have way more than enough luxuries one can need. They don't do it because they want to afford more luxurious massages, or more sushi dinners. They do it because they want to 'top guy', or 'top owner' if you will. It's their competitive drive that pushes them to want more, that same drive we end up defining as 'greed'.But truth be told, there is an answer to your question. The one who is the least greedy is the one that doesn't have a shot at out-profiting the other ones. No way soccer out-profits the NFL, or NHL. Just make basic rough estimations, and you'll have a decent answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
