when has it EVER done anything that wasn't directly tied to the already rich owners getting richer?

ever

from treating the employees (players, coaches, trainers, cheerleaders, support staff) as COMPLETELY disposable

from taking money from cities/citizens hand-over-fist (rights fees, licensing, stadium deals, ticket prices and PSLs) then moving when any hint of a better deal is found

and by extension they aren't any different than any other for large profit company

i think expecting otherwise is pretty naive
