List your Top 5 and Bottom 5 current owners for the 4 Major League sports teams in the U.S.

Here's mine....

Top 5
Mark Cuban (Dallas Mavericks)
Mike Illtich (Detroit Red Wings & Tigers)
Green Bay Packers stockholders (Packers)
Dan Rooney (Pittsburgh Steelers)
The Mara Family (New York Giants)

Bottom 5
Jeffrey Loria (Miami Marlins)
William Clay Ford (Detroit Lions)
Donald Sterling (L.A. Clippers)
Bill Bidwell (Arizona Cardinals)
Michael Jordan & Robert Johnson (Charlotte Hornets)

great thread.

I know for sure the bottom 5 should be a bottom 1(Loria) and 4 others. Loria makes Ford, Sterling, Bidwell, and Jordan look like exlempary owners.

Apparently not that great....no one else has an opinion.

Well to offer an opinion...

Sterling has run a "profitable" enterprise in the Clippers. But his tight grip on finances has crippled them for a long time in being better than they are.

The whole Bobcat thing to replace the Hornets in Charlotte was f*d up all the way around from the beginning. Token owners for a token team.

Personally I think the owners of the Hurricanes have been very frugal and have gotten a lot out of their spending. The Canes might need to make a splash to get back to the playoffs though granted I can understand them trying to be tight on the money in a small market NHL team in the south.

Never really had much beef with the Panther's owners.

I do think owner of the Redskins and the Cowboys meddle too much in their teams business and need to be hands off to get the teams back to their golden eras.
