NFL's 32 teams appear on the list of the 50 most valuable clubs in the world.
The Yankees are
among seven Major League Baseball teams to feature.
La Liga giants Real
Madrid ($4.24 billion) and Barcelona ($4.02 billion) and the NBA's New
York Knicks ($4 billion) round out the top five.
Manchester United
saw their value drop from $4.12 billion to $3.18 billion.

The Cowboys go into
the 2019 NFL season as the defending NFC East division champions, but they
haven't reached the Super Bowl since winning Super Bowl 30 after the 1995
season.
Nevertheless, nine
of the 50 highest-rated US sports TV broadcasts in 2018 were regular-season
Cowboys games, Forbes noted.
Their popularity has
helped Jones generate an estimated $340 million in sponsorship and premium
seating revenue at their home stadium.
