The NFL's new team equity rule

[Radioguy41]

The NFL has issued a new team ownership, or equity, rule basically stating that no non-family member employee may have equity in a team. Kinda puts the whole Tom Brady/Raiders deal in limbo. But, the question I have is how does the NFL plan to rationalize that rule with the Packers public ownership? Literally thousands of people have equity, at least on paper, in the team including employees. Now who is the very last family ownership the NFL wants to tangle with? The Davis family you say? You think Mark Davis might object to this new rule? Hmm, I smell a fight abrewing.

NFL bans giving equity stakes to players, employees

Packers aren't actually selling equity, just a fundraising scheme.

Davis argued against this rule, but it passed anyways.

The Packers have long been grandfathered from the NFL ownership rules. This will be no exception.
