Would you want to own a sports team?

Would you want to join Mark Cuban, Jerry Jones, George Steinbrenner, James Dolan and the like and own or purchase a sports team and be the CEO/general managing partner of a team?

Imagine running a sports team.....

1. Well, no

especially Steinbrenner...he's dead.

3. His son, Hal and other children I suppose

George died in 2010. His son Hank died earlier this year.

4. Yep...

I miss the bombastic old days of the George and Billy Martin feuds.

2. Lousy investments

Not generally worth it based on actually revenue.

There's a huge ego premium. You only make money if someone else comes along with an even bigger ego willing to overpay by even more.

5. No, but then I'm not very interested in any sport at all,

and don't know enough to make any sort of reasonable owner.

6. If I won the lottery, I would love to own a Single A baseball club

That is, for as long as the money holds out.

Hell the fans would be talking about it for years; dollar beer, dollar hot dogs, dollar sodas, and free peanuts.

8. I would love to own a minor league team! The Spiders!

7. If I had the money to buy a sportsball team, I'd use that money otherwise instead.

9. That is what I have NBA2k19 for

I'm in my third season with the Suns sitting at 30-8 my best players are Deandre Ayton, Devin Booker, and Pascal Siakam who signed after I lost in the playoffs to New Orleans with Klay Thompson & Anthony Davis (in my game Kevin Durant stays with the Warriors).
