Not really. My point is that salary cap doesn't promote parity. The evidence is right there. I don't care if the parity isn't happening because of a smarter front office, or the willingness to spend more money than everyone else, the fact is that parity is not happening in the NFL. Not any more than any other sport.

Two of the smallest markets in the NFL have won two of the last three Super Bowls. That cannot happen in MLB. When small market MLB teams' good young players reach late stages of arbitration, thay have to trade them away. The only team that was able to win a WS after doing that was the Marlins and they still haven't even won a division in their history. Fluke.
