$384,000 in 2004 Fines Redistributed: NASCAR collected fines of $384,495
from 73 Nextel Cup penalties in 2004 and redistributed the money to the top
25 drivers, The Wall Street Journal reports today. As a result, champion
Kurt Busch, whose team was fined $21,000 for various infractions during the
season, collected $84,588. The newspaper says the NBA, the NFL and MLB turn
over the fine money they collect to philanthropic organizations.(NASCAR

Those stick and ball organizations aren't privately held like the
France organizations. That may have something to do with the donation
to charity.

But does one family "own" the NFL or the NBA? I guess my comparison
