Jimmy Haslem doesn't deserve to be on that list.

I read part of it earlier and it's a pretty dumb and terrible piece. I couldn't read past the part where they blast Aubrey McClendon for making his fortune in oil and gas,
It's more the writer going all bleeding heart on rich men's morals than actually ranking their ability to run a franchise

remember when Rolling Stone focused mostly on music?

What an angry, vulgar, bitter piece written by an angry hack at a truly intellectually devoid organization.

article clearly written by a freedom hating, liberal hack

Each a-hole's sports kingdom doesn't exist in a vacuum, however. If sports were the only criterion, then the worst owner would be the one with the worst winning percentage every year. These people live in the real world, too. They bilk the public for tax breaks, exemptions and steep discounts on policing; they ignore impact and destroy surrounding infrastructure; they hold municipalities hostage; and they sit on their asses and reap millions annually in shared revenue while plundering young men (often of color and often from poor backgrounds) of their health and condemning them for wearing baggy pants, having tattoos, being "greedy" and "wrecking the game."
As such, the correct answer to who is the worst owner in sports is all of them.

So, in short, hopefully people see the shite posted above and don't click the article

Of course the CAPITALISM! fanboys are going to come in here and defend these POS owners in the list who are more interested in feeding their egos and bleeding every penny out of their fanbases than they are building a championship-caliber franchise.

I was excited until I actually read the first magazine to come in the mail.
It's barely about music at all.
It's just liberal whining.
And I'm in the middle politically.

You can't argue with the top 3 (Dan Snyder, Jeff Loria and James Dolan). They're greedy scum-sucking assholes who make their franchises worse. Taxpayers in Miami need to sue the shite out of Loria

Loris just committed a huge sum of money to a star player. Isn't that what the Yankees do?

Rolling stone is shite.

That shady shite Loria did -- telling elected officials he needed a new stadium or else the Marlins would go out of business, when they were actually financially healthy isn't what the Yankees would do

Any worst owners list is worthless without Bob Nutting.
Plus it's a horrible article because the standard for "terrible" is apparently having GOP sympathies.
