    Who owns the NFL - not the franchised teams but the NFL organisation itself ?

    Question #26510. Asked by Oddy.

    gtho4

    from http://www.legal-rights.org/rulings/NFL_ENTERPRISES_v_many.html

    The plaintiff, NFL Enterprises L.P., is a limited partnership constituted under the laws of the State of Delaware. It is a separate and distinct entity from the National Football League which is an unincorporated, not for profit association, constituted under the laws of the State of New York. The NFL is a joint enterprise of thirty member clubs distributed throughout the United States which are engaged in the business of exhibiting football games. The plaintiff has been assigned the right by the National Football League to rebroadcast certain games and related programming to be initially produced and broadcast by the National Broadcasting Company ('NBC') and the Fox Broadcasting Company ('FOX').


    there's also a description of the numerous NFL entities at http://contracts.corporate.findlaw.com/agreements/ sportsline/nfl.lic.2001.07.06.html
    (the page is no longer available .. put 'NFL Interactive Media Rights Agreement' into google and look at the cache of the first item listed)

    finding a site listing the partners of NFL Enterprises LP is another matter
    (probably the teams)
