Quick quiz:
Who owns the Green Bay Packers (besides the Chicago Bears of course)?
Answer:
The fans do. A little over 111,000 people own shares of stock in the Packers.
Pretty interesting concept isn’t it? Its not one or two wealthy individuals, it was a bunch of fans that got together and bought shares of stock to share ownership in a team.
Want a chance to make history again? There’s a fan movement out there to buy the Chicago Cubs. With the Chicago Tribune (who currently owns the Cubs) being bought out, the Cubs are now up for sale. You can be part of that sale by donating to the “I want to buy the cubs” website. All proceeds go towards a bid to purchase the Chicago Cubs.
By the way, in case you are hesitant to donate to some “random site”, it’s managed by a friend of mine and she’s far more trustworthy than I am.
