    What professional sports team would you prefer to own and why?

    Being from Minnesota, I'd probably go with the Vikings (American football team). The others are either boring or not good at all. At least the Vikings would be entertaining, even if they struggle a lot.

    the new york yankees

    they wouldn't be on an 8 year non-world series winning streak and there's no way i would have let the other team win 2 in the last 4 years.

    I would sell shares of the Vikings, like the Greenbay Packers did. It would help with giving people a sense of ownership and tie the team to the state. The state may be more interesting in supporting their stadium interests too.

    The Packers fans are rabid cheeseheads.

    Cubs, they need a lot of improvement and thats probably why I would go for them. If I could only make them win the world series!

    I'd own either Rangers FC or Celtic FC (Scottish Football clubs), both make sh*tloads of money, both are from my home :D.

    Ipswich Town FC

    Twistedspikes.....quite an odd answer if you don't mind me saying. Not many scots would want to own 'either' Celtic or Rangers :)

    The Knicks no doubt..no matter how bad they do, people still pay insane price to see it (i paid 150 for a mid section ticket once for a regular season game)

    And the land. Premium Manhattan mid town..2 x 2 blocks in size...i will just sell MSG and cash out already :D
