The value of NFL franchises has plateaued this year to an increase of just
two percent on average. The average value is $2.57 billion.
NFL球隊的市場價值在今年步入了「高原期」，因為一份報告指出，NFL各球隊平均
「只」成長了2%。不過，各隊平均價值仍高達25.7億美金。
This is the smallest increase since 2010 during the Great Recession.
然而，這也是2010度過金融危機後，最小的成長幅度。
The main reason for the drop in valuation is the dearth of people with enough
liquid wealth to buy 30 percent of an NFL franchise.
會造成(市值成長率)下滑的主因，是因為NFL本身想要獲得球隊經營權就要購買球隊
30%股權的規定，光估算的金額就嚇阻了有意願購買球隊的人。
The NFL has the strictest ownership requirements among the four major U.S.
leagues. In a team sale, the general partner must own at least 30%, and the
maximum amount of debt at the team level is $350 million.
NFL有著美國四大球賽聯盟中，最嚴格的球隊經營資格規定，除了首席股東必須擁有
球隊30%以上的股份外，球隊債券的最高額度也只有3.5億美金。
During the past 20 years NFL team values have climbed almost nine-fold, or at
an 11.6% annual rate, versus just 4.5% for the S&P 500.
在過去20年間，NFL球隊的平均價值以幾乎九倍的比率一路攀升，詳細一點說，至少
在每年都有11.6%的成長率，這比標準普爾500指數的年均4.5%還要高。
Corporate ownership is also not allowed in the NFL.
值得注意的是，像其他聯盟的法人/企業合資公司的經營模式，在NFL也是不允許的。
