Perhaps it is social learning. Baseball was founded in the 19th century
with few rules, while the modern NFL was a product of the 1960's. So
people may have had more experience with the sports business, which was
used in desiging revenue sharing agreements. Any sport historians who can
confirm or disprove this?
