Worst Owner in Sports History?

Marge Schott

 

Bill Wirtz, who went to his grave a few years ago insisting that televising home games was unfair to the season-ticket holders?

P.K. Wrigley, who turned the Cubs into the laughingstock they are now always going to be known as? Introduced the College of Coaches and other horrible stunts?

 

John Spano "owner" of the Islanders

What a fraud.

 

But she won a World Series. I think there might be an automatic exclusion for titleholders.

 

The NHL's history is littered with criminals like Peter Pocklington (Who the hell forces the trade of Wayne Gretzky and continues to defend it 20 years later???), but the one that takes the cake for me right now would be Charles Wang on Long Island. Has no idea what he's doing and proves it over and over and over again.

Also, the Marlins Jeffrey Loria definitely deserves a spot here too.

 

She was the first name I thought of when I saw the thread title, but I figured the team's success would keep her off any short lists.

Although it also gives me an excuse to post this: http://www.hulu.com/watch/4987

 

Also, how has Harold Ballard not come up yet?

 

Danny Snyder. Has no clue of how to build a winning franchise. They've made two playoff appearances since 1999 when he bought the team and one of those was his first year. His meddling makes Jerry Jones look like an absentee.

 

There are about 6 different owners from the Nets that are worthy of consideration on this one

 

Wilpon isn't even the worst ever Mets owner. The de Roulet girls win that one in a rout.

 

So one of the Secaucus Seven isn't worthy?

 

I considered those seven misfits together as one entity.

If you separate them, then the Nets have had more dreadful owners than all-stars
