Revenue Sharing Was Harry Wismer's Idea(AFL) & Mara Followed(NFL)

Harry Wismer, one of The Founding Members of The American Football League(A F L), known as "The Foolish Club", was actually the Owner(of the New York Titans who became the Jets) who came up with the idea of Equal Revenue Sharing in regards to Television Money, where the Clubs would get an equal amount of the money from the ABC Network Contract. Revenue at the Gate was to be shared 60/40(Home & Visiting Team). This was to start in 1960:

Later in the NFL, Giants Owner Wellington Mara proposed the equal sharing of Television Money, so the smaller markets like Green Bay and Pittsburgh could profit to keep the NFL viable;

Mara is credited in NFL History with this Unique Revenue Sharing, but it actually started with the A F L;

The A F L led this revenue sharing revolution. The NFL followed, thus Modern Professional Football as we know it today;
