If you go by your theory then the Redskins should be able to keep more money cause of there demographics. I don't think the owners will make their decesion based on demos.

First of, in normal day to day business underpricing goods is illegal and over pricing goods is also illegal.
Price fixing, which is what you are advocating, is also illigal. Since the NFL doesn't have any competition that will complain about
Anti-competitive practices teams can under price goods (tickets and etc). Teams cannot, however, over price goods to the extent MOST of the consumers can't afford it. Why? Cause that's called
price gauging which is a felony. If your really want to learn more about microeconomics have a look
here.
Oh, but owners have already made their decision based on demographics. All the owners in favor of sharing have smaller demographics (smaller market teams) and all the owners with larger demographics are dead set against revenue sharing. Revenue sharing and demographics are not mutually exclusive.
