No one is able to be a sports team owner, typically, without being filthy, stinking prosperous. However, that is not always the case, as some groups actually trade on stock markets and individuals can buy shares. Some publicly-traded sports teams are not exactly bad choices, either.
Not many American publicly-traded sports groups to select from
It would be awesome to own a sports team, but most of them are privately owned. That means you have to have a ton of cash to get in on the action. Pink Floyd had the right idea in the song "Money" where it points out that he wants a sports team.
You can always buy a share in a publicly-traded sports team though, and technically you own part of the team for a small amount of money. There are only a few numbers of sports teams publicly traded though, and most of them are not U.S. groups.
A very fast IPO
Formula One is the world's premier racing series, and it planned to do an Initial Public Offering in Singapore earlier this year. Formula One is mostly owned by CVC Capital Partners though, according to Wall Street, and it stopped the OPO from taking place earlier. It will still be held later, in theory.
According to the Atlantic, an Initial Public Offering is scheduled for Manchester United already. The team is essentially the New York Yankees of soccer, and it is owned by the Glazer family, according to the Wall Street Journal. The family also owns football's Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The IPO is being done in the United States, though it was at first planned for Singapore.
Only some are decent buys
You can be certain you will make cash off of Manchester United after trading begins since it is the biggest sports franchise that exists. Another great choice is Madison Square Garden's where the stock has traded above the industry average consistently, according to Daily Finance.
On the other hand, the American Basketball Association, a semi-professional basketball league, is presently selling, according to BusinessWeek, for 5 cents per share. World Wrestling Entertainment is also publicly owned, but according to Daily Finance, hasn't been doing that well recently.
Market performance is tied to game performance, which means stocks go down when there are losing streaks. That is why famous soccer groups have not done that well on the stock industry, according to the Atlantic.
Only one American sports team is publicly-traded, namely the Green Bay Packers. They are an oddity, as the NFL forbids more than 32 owners of any one team. However, the Packers joined the league before the rule was instated. It's a terrible investment, though. The stock cannot be sold for profit and the team, a non-profit, pays no dividends.
