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球队的市场价值在今年步入了“高原期”，因为一份报告指出，NFL各球队平均
“只”成长了2%。不过，各队平均价值仍高达25.7亿美金。
This is the smallest increase since 2010 during the Great Recession.
然而，这也是2010度过金融危机后，最小的成长幅度。
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.
会造成(市值成长率)下滑的主因，是因为NFL本身想要获得球队经营权就要购买球队
30%股权的规定，光估算的金额就吓阻了有意愿购买球队的人。
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有着美国四大球赛联盟中，最严格的球队经营资格规定，除了首席股东必须拥有
球队30%以上的股份外，球队债券的最高额度也只有3.5亿美金。
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.
在过去20年间，NFL球队的平均价值以几乎九倍的比率一路攀升，详细一点说，至少
在每年都有11.6%的成长率，这比标准普尔500指数的年均4.5%还要高。
Corporate ownership is also not allowed in the NFL.
值得注意的是，像其他联盟的法人/企业合资公司的经营模式，在NFL也是不允许的。
