The Worst Sports Owners Tournament

The Worst Sports Owners Tournament: Baseball Regional

Okay, guys, time to stimulate a little discussion. I'm writing a series for Athlon designed around a 32-person tournament to determine the worst owner in sports history. I know there are countless other people who could be eligible, and I know there'll probably be more "XXX isn't on the list, so it loses all credibility" posts than actual votes, but if everyone could humor me and put in a ballot, it'd be excellent.

The link goes to the baseball bracket. Football, basketball, and hockey/futbol go live later this week.

Votes can go in one of three places:

1) on the article itself,

2) the 4 Quarters Radio Facebook page,

or 3) the Athlon Sports Facebook page.

Discussion here is great, but a minute to put a vote in one of those three places would be appreciated. Thanks.

Spoiler: David Gold and David Sullivan win in a landslide.

Beating out the Pompey owners? I think not.

You can't really pinpoint them though, weren't they sold like 4 times in a year? I'm going to go out on a limb and say Mike Ashley hasn't been that bad for Newcastle, controversial as it may seem.

This cunt will be up there. Not just by Liverpool fans, either.

When they get to football, Dan Snyder and Al Davis damn well better be on that list!

Snyder's #1 seed. Al's a potential second-round opponent for him.

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah. Al's at least seen his team win. Something Snyder can only have wet dreams about.

Write in vote: Fred and Jeff aka the Wilponzis.

[Cymbols]

What about the Glaziers at Man Utd?

[VerbalPuke]

William Clay Ford deserves a nod for employing Matt Millen and giving him an extension.

He's learning in fairness to him. Bit of proper communication in the program every other week and I'd be even happier than I already am. I also have no issue with him trying to recoup some of the £200m or whatever it is the club owes him, especially if it continues to be done as well as it has this transfer window. Still need a striker though and to keep hold of Jose.

Regardless, I'd have Fat Freddie on this list way above him.

[JStarr]

Glazer, Fat Freddie, and Tom Hicks are the three Association football guys on Thursday's bracket. The rest are hockey.

This.

Cunt is too polite. I'm fairly sure Hicks is a fr more offensive word anyway

[Lineker]

The fucks who moved the original Wimbledon to Milton Keynes.

Harold Ballard, Mike Brown, The Bidwells, Ralph Wilson, Bill Wirtz, off the top of my head.

Do not speak ill of the walking dead.

4 outta 5 ain't bad, and the Bidwills may have been last one out.
