The National Football League is now accepting investment from private equity firms. The process was a long time in the making, after peer leagues like Major League Baseball and the National Basketball Association began doing so starting in 2019. In recent years valuations of professional football teams have skyrocketed, boosted in part by soaring media rights packages. The average NFL franchise is valued at $6.5 billion, according to CNBC's Official NFL Valuations, while the NBA's average franchise is worth about $4.4 billion, according to Forbes. Watch the video above to learn more about how the NFL's new guidelines for private equity will work and how they may affect the league moving forward.

Miller was a powerful White House aide in Trump’s first term, authoring much of his most fiery scripted rhetoric as a speechwriter. Yet despite these draconian visions, there’s uncertainty about how far Trump will go in his deportation program and whether it matches his dystopian speeches. Many Democrats and Republicans could agree on Trump’s vow to start by deporting criminal undocumented migrants — the easiest part of his plan. Trump’s critics and vulnerable undocumented migrants, however, will find little in the president-elect’s new staff picks to offer them comfort. In every incoming presidential administration, staffing is important and provides ideological clues to how a White House will act.
