Oh you, going with the pc statement. You only knew he was the "worst" owner for a few days. He was forced to sell pretty quickly. But very courageous of you nonetheless.



The clippers were a dumpster fire before he said anything

In Sterling's 33 years of owning the Clippers through 2013–14, the Clippers lost 50 or more games 22 times, 60 or more on eight occasions, and 70 games once. Their 9–41 record in the lockout-shortened 1998–99 season projected to another 60-loss season

This is true for Charlotte in all sports...(unless they’re good)

Are you from Charlotte/the Charlotte area?


I’d disagree with that...there’s a pretty fervent segment of the Panthers fanbase.

I’m originally from NC and lived in Charlotte for a summer, and I visit there all the time.

As annoying as Jerry can be he is nowhere near the worst. I'm sorry but any owner who brought their team 3 titles and clearly wants to win by constantly taking big gambles and paying out big contracts isn't even in the bottom half of owners his own sport.

A proper place to put him would be on a list of the worst of the best owners.

The worst owners are the ones who blatantly aren't trying to win and would rather just suck up money from shared TV deals.

Nah I'm serious.. I really just have not paid attention to Tennessee's situation outside of the hiring announcements and what not. That sucks for y'all that he's been that pervasive inside your AD.

Anyone who followed the NBA during his reign knew he was god awful. It didn't start with him getting popped for being a racist. He was notorious for being the cheapest owner in the NBA.

Current owners:

NFL, Dan Snyder.
NBA, James Dolan.

Historically, Ted Stepien in the NBA. Potentially still Snyder in the NFL. He's been so consistently bad.

Pretty awful public person but actually a good owner and incredibly philanthropic. Her team won a World Series and she kept ticket and concession prices the lowest in the league.

Outside of Montreal, Cincinnati was probably hit hardest by the players strike.

This is a dumb take. From a pure dollars standpoint, he’s the greatest of all time.

Would have been Jeffrey Loria if he hadn't sold the Marlins recently. Dan Snyder in a landslide now.

When the NFL wants to negotiate something, like TV rights, there is a reason they send in Jerrah.
He may be the worst GM in football, but he probably one of the best owners in sports.
