This isn’t private property. Owners may own the team but they report to the nfl. The stadiums they play in are subsidized through massive amounts of public money. No, I don’t believe owners should abuse this power to hold publicly funded assets hostage for personal gain. Owners should have financial accountability for their ownership. If Congress is going to allow revenue sharing as a special arrangement, which basically shields owners from accountability, there has to be ways to hold owners accountable for bad management. In an ideal world if an owner can’t fill seats he should lose money. Like I said, I don’t have an issue with the Dallas mavericks or I’m sure the many teams in pro sports that have their own share of sexual harassment issues. Here we are talking about grosser than gross misconduct.
