The NFL's extreme revenue sharing makes it realistically possible for any of 32 franchises to win the Super Bowl, whereas Major League Baseball's weaker revenue sharing makes it hard to win the World Series outside about eight big-market franchises; revenue sharing also lets mediocre NFL owners earn a decent living, creating a strange incentive to free-ride on harder-trying owners.
