Just a point: the packers may be the only US football team that is community owned, but at least three CFL teams (North American pro football) are community/socially owned, including our own Winnipeg Blue Bombers. It is interesting to note that in a league that has been beset by financial problems and franchise losses, it has been the community owned that have been the most stable and the most able to retain fan support.
