Cleveland Pro Sports Ownership
-
Not so sure about that. I mean....the Cavs have been in the Finals 3 straight years. The Indians went to extra innings in game 7 of the WS. The Browns....well....lets say that I think they are improving and seem to have a plan.
NYC teams like the Knicks, Nets, Jets have some pretty shitty owners.
San Diego used to have 3 major league teams....now it has one....and that one has been consistently crappy (Padres). I guess you can say how shitty is the ownership in a town....where that town no longer has 2 of its teams? I think that is the proof in the pudding.
I guess, bottom line is the issue of winning. Can a team that is consistently losing still be considered to have good ownership? A lot of owners have a different unit of measurement than perhaps you and I have: we measure wins. A lot of them just measure the money they make, regardless of actual winning on the field. Some bad owners from a winning/success on the field point of view still make piles of money.

For a true small market team, recently eh maybe not THAT bad. 1960s trader Gabe's Indians? That was pathetic coming off the best Indians win percentage decade ever!
Like the Gipper said NY, NY and all their money and built in fan bases NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL might be bigger underachievers or just chokers.

Just looking at Gilbert, moron, Haslam, incompetent and Dolan, cheap. Not looking at successes of the franchises just the clusterfuck owners that the teams have.

Yeah I could see how NYC would be in the discussion Jets, Nets, Mets and Knicks make very questionable moves. Yanks and Giants have been very successful in terms of winning and trying to win. I never really considered San Diego a real sports town.

I'm an idiot for responding to this thread that is not worthy of a response! Go root for another city, state or country....just not Ohio please.

I used to think that but I don't think it's true anymore

I fucking hate the Steelers but do envy their ownership and ability to sustain a stable franchise for the better part of 45 years

Unfortunately at 41 I wasn't invested in those teams. I blame my dad for enjoying the good times and leaving me with this tire fire
