I was having a disagreement with one of my buddies today and google searches produced no results.
I want to know how much it costs Wilson to produce this:
Things to consider:
-We are talking about the high quality, game quality balls
-It is made in America
-It retails for around $120
-It is made out of leather
-I have no idea if it is hand sewn but there has to be a human element in the production process.
-Do not count the cost of Wilson's liscensing contract so that they can say that theirs is the 'official' ball. Do not count costs to get the football to the buyer but do count the cost of getting the materials to the factory (there is an economic term for this that I can not think of off the top of my head)
If anyone knows of a website that has the definitive answer to this question I would appreciate a link
