As an avid sports fan, nothing scares me more than the concept of some large corporation taking over control of one of my favorite teams. While not every owner can be Steinbrenner-like, and spend hundreds of millions on payroll, I am in favor of a more traditional "chain of command." Multiple owners can get tangled up in their own egos and become detrimental to their own success. Not to mention those who own teams for tax purposes, or strictly as an "asset/feather in the cap." That ain't cool. Although there have been some major bumps in the road ("Ruff, Ruff!") I prefer owners such as Atlanta's Arthur Blank. Mr. Blank is a brilliant businessman, who is passionate about his team, and takes pride in the success of his organization. Not only does he strive to provide the fanbase with a winning product, but Mr. Blank believes in doing things "the right way." You don't always find that in professional sports.
Whats' your take?
