would continue to be so for a long time.

That said, if a People's league was incorporated and could at least attract some decent players.. I agree, I think there could be an opportunity for disruption. If a community-owned model was marketed in a way that emphasized inclusion and freedom to just be who you are in your regular life, as long as you give back to the team's community (which MANY football players do anyway), I'm sure it could attract a lot of support.

I just learned that the majority of stadiums are mostly public financed anyway, usually via some fiscal gymnastics involving hotel or rental car taxes. I'm optimistic that a People's league could raise some serious cash even just domestically, with the right message.

Wikipedia raised 55 million in North America alone in the 2016-2017 FY, with an average donation size of about $20-$30:

Bernie Sanders raised over 200 million during the 2016 election cycle, more than half of which came from donations less than $200:

I'm sure there are football fans out there that would be willing to pay $20 or $50 or $100+ a year for football they could stream, especially knowing most of the money is going towards the players and rewarding them for good performance.

I think even I would donate to such a cause, and I don't watch football lol.
