That's an overly simplified way of looking at things, there are many ways a sports team can be profitable (such as leverage against a city). League revenues are also shared in a lot of different ways, so there is a lot of incentive for owners to pressure themselves and each other to prioritize the overall financial health of the league. How many owners can really be relied upon to always prioritize the integrity of the sport over their own wealth?
