The owners: A lesson from the Red Sox

[Silver Sean]

Interesting story about how our owners run the Red Sox. Long but worth reading. Although I love bseball and am a huge Red Sox fan (since way before FSG bought Liverpool) so maybe I find it more interesting than most.

I saw this on ESPN.com yesterday and was like, "Oh fuck." Hopefully, they don't pull these stunts here.

'They're learning their lessons'. Really?

Can anyone summarize it?

Yep, they bought lots of good looking players that would make the Red Sox attractive as a brand.

Obviously their intent with us is the same, which is why they've bought Suarez, Adam and Downing.

I started to read. Got to the part saying they are not good owners but they are not bad owners. They like Baseball, but they dont love it. But they want to win in a fashionable style, but only because it is good for business. I just cant see if they are good or bad?

FSG is only interested in money and not the sport.

FSG is only interested in money and not the sport.

But they are interested in the sport as it generates the money!

I'm reeling from the shock

There's not a whole lot new in there

It's become fashionable lately to slate the owners so I think they're useless cunts.
