• Strong associations with top sponsors.

• The whole business structure is modeled around the media and merchandising that allows NFL to sustain its economic and financial power.

Weaknesses

A recent NFL player association survey revealed this year that shows ALMOST 80 % of the players who do not trust their team’s medical staff.

• There is no proper association with the broadcasters in Asia, since most of NFL’s games are not being telecasted in Asia.

• Lacks diversification.
