Publicily owned sports teams

crzy · 2010-05-01T13:47:05-07:00

I just found out that the Green Bay Packers are publicly owned And FC Barecelona, one of the most successful soccer teams in the world I was wondering, why aren't there more publicity owned sports teams Apparently the Celtics were publicly owned for awhile too.

To answer your question, I think most teams stay Private because all Public teams need to be fully self-sufficient. If you're as successful and consistently popular as the Packers and Barcelona are, income isn't a problem at all.
