My presentation is on The National Football league and it is one of America's favourite sports and is also viewed by people all around the world. Little do many know is how much money is also put into one of America's favourite sport. With each team spending and average of 100 million per year out of 32 teams this may bring up a lot of questions. How does the NFL get all this money? And how is this large amount of money chosen where to be spent and what to be spent on?

To the left is one of the most wanted rookies in the 2008 NFL draft. Before being in an actual NFL game he was offered the most out of any rookie ever in history. Matt Ryan signed a 75 million dollar contract for 5 year, with 39 million guaranteed upfront.
