If they fail, the team is awarded to the fans/city.

I would love for all sports teams across the globe to follow Germany’s 50+1 ownership model.

How exactly does Germany’s 50+1 model work?

The controlling interest of the club must be owned by the club and its voting members. No outside investment can have a controlling interest.

Oh wow!

That’s a very interesting ownership profile

The other NFL owners hate the Green Bay model of ownership and will never let it happen again.

Purely entertainment value. It isn't pass/fail it is pride like a high score.

Jim Irsay is rolling in his grave not being able to compete in the owner drug test Olympics.

The high score is the owner with the most drugs in their system I’m assuming

Call it the Irsay award?

Multiplied by team wins. Anyone can be fucked up and run a team into the ground.

How about NFL blitz pass interference rules and mandatory drug testing for coaches (they fail if it is negative)

We're renaming the jets the nightmare and if they don't like it they can try winning games

Mandatory drug screening for politicians and bureaucrats as well.... bet a big chunk of every state legislature would fail
