Professional Sports Team Owners


I can't be the only person who enjoys a professional sports team owner who cares about his team and his fans.  The prime example is seen above, Mark Cuban, owner of Dallas Maverick.  He is not scared to take a fine if he does not agree with a referee's call or make the home locker room like a mansion.  He got out of the interweb business right before the bubble burst around ten years ago and has a very progressive blog.  I don't understand how owners do not realize that they have a commitment to the public and should not be strictly about the business aspect.  You have to spend money to make money in the sports business.  If you look at baseball, the Yankees and Red Sox spend the most money, yet somehow the owners of both of those franchise routinely make the most money from their business as well.  Luckily, we have a new entry into the fun sports owner category.  Below is Tennessee Titan owner Bud Adams giving the bird to the Buffalo Bills, if that doesn't inspire a team and fan base.
