The Green Bay Packers: where fans rather than a billionaire are the owners
www.theguardian.com

Probably no one here will learn anything from this, but it’s a well written article with a couple of curveballs for me, like over half of NFL teams have threatened to leave for LA!

      When the concept of a joint stock company is too egalitarian for you. Yikes billionaire franchise owners.
