15 worst owners in sports
-
Not really sure why Haslam is on there because it appears that his idea to wipe the slate has worked out for the team.

This list is weighted on politics. More than what they actually do as a sports team owner. Because you're right, Jimmy had a rough rookie year as an owner, but he made it right quickly.

i got to agree that dan snyder is the worst....but to baltimore fans it will always be jim irsay, for sure.....hands down.....the cocksucking thief in the night.....

Unfortunately 'TopRightNews' and 'TheBlaze' have yet to come out with the definitive list, so until then, we're stuck with this.

I gotta say fArt Modell, He was such a terrible business man that he ran out of money and HAD to move the Browns. I met his wife once after a Browns game a loooooong time ago, she was a very nice lady.

I think Jimmy Haslam being on there is a stretch. He's 10x better than Randy Lerner. Where is the credit for firing Banner and Lombardi? For Hiring Pettine and promoting Farmer?

For that matter what exactly was the problem with Randy Lerner? He spent whatever he was asked to spend.
Actually did what the fans wanted by hiring real football people and keeping his nose out of it.
What is the bitch with Jimmy Haslam? Cleaned up his mess didn'the?

I smell some politically correct jerk offery here.
Dan Snider @ #1.
I wonder what criteria comes to play here...

Well, he's also basically fucked his franchise by trading everything for RG3, disrupting the balance between GM/HC and QB, and now the team is in an utter state. But yeah, I'm sure it's mostly the political correctness thing...
Snark aside I'm sure it is too.Well, he's also basically fucked his franchise by trading everything for RG3, disrupting the balance between GM/HC and QB, and now the team is in an utter state. But yeah, I'm sure it's mostly the political correctness thing...
When the president asks the Department of Justice (or Treasury or whoever) to fuck with a professional football team, and the periodical writing the list [wholeheartedly support that President], I'd say politics has a great deal to do with it.
Not to mention all the idiot Browns fans squealing for us to make that deal....

Really? The Richardsons from Carolina are on there? Why? Idiotic list.

I can't imagine this has anything to do with football.I can see haslam if you're talking about the truck stop rebates.

LOL, the Rolling Stone's political bent comes into play in that list. For those who never pick up an issue, it makes Barak Obama look like a conservative.

Rolling Stone figures those owners are so rich, they should give everyone free tickets to the games.

You mean Robert Irsay, not Jim.

I thought Lerner was disengaged, not interested in the franchise all that much. Disengaged people don't make the best hiring decisions, IMO.
And I wasn't bitching about Haslam, I was praising him.

I don't think politics or anything like that goes into that list totally. Maybe a little.
I think it is anyone that has come up for scrutiny over some issue that comes into play.
E.g. for Snyder it is clearly the "Redskins" name issue (plus some meddling)
For Dan Gilbert it was probably the scathing letter he wrote about LeBron when he left (though clearly they hold a grudge over that longer than LeBron does.
For Haslam, it is the threat of indictment.
Plus since all these magazines are so New York centric they are clearly going to put the owners of bad NY teams at the top. An owner of a team in Sacramento or Kansas City.....or Cleveland (as most of you are right....the Dolans have managed the Indians the worst imo) who is as bad or worse at running a team won't get the same treatment as a NYC team.
For the Thunder they are just pissed because those guys move the team out of Seattle. Fair enough. But it that sort of thing.

Jerrry Jones has to be #1 by a long ways. He could have won 2-3 more
Super Bowls with the talent he had on that team with Jimmy Johnson. Hell
he even won one in spite of Barry Switzer being coach. He insists on being
GM of the team and running the show, Snyder is terrible but he still has a
way to go to catch Jerry.BTW Haslam and Gilbert on the list but not the Dolans
who throw nickels around like manhole covers????

Gipper says politics has nothing to do with it. Then he says for Snyder it was the name Redskins. Dude that's politics.
So remove that sin from Snyders scroll and you have some meddling. Hardly enough to make him Satan in the Hades of owners.

Of course politics is a lot of it. Rolling Stone is calling Haslam one of the worst owners on more than just the truck stop rebates, but because his company is the top supplier to the drilling and fracking industries. Doesn't get any more political than that.
