If you are a sports fan, your favorite team just might be owned by an asshole. Not saying that all people who own teams are but there does seem to be a preponderance of assholes amongst the super-rich who can swallow clubs whole.
The English Premiere League is riddled with fan groups trying to push owners out. The NBA had the delightful Donald Sterling around for what seemed like forever before he finally became too toxic. And the NFL’s version was Dan Snyder who will forever be linked to the Washington Redskins and not their new era Commanders name.
There are articles, and probably podcasts aplenty, about Snyder and his mis-management of the Washington Football Club. His stubborn death grip on the Redskins name being first on the list despite the known fact, that changing the name made any Redskin emblazoned gear more pricey and you would double dip by selling all new gear to diehard fans.
What made it all the more egregious was that he didn’t listen. Not to fans or even fellow owners. When you get to a point where your delusion field blocks out your fellow richie rich’s, well that is a red flag.
Which is why it is hilarious that there was an anti-Dan beer brewed. Makes me wish there were more beers that take on the 1%.
