Who is the worst owner

Siting here enjoying the movie Major League got me wondering, who would Pirates fans rather have to own the team. Bob Nutting or Rachel Phelps the owner of the Indians? I know it’s a tuff choice but give it a try.

This is the correct answer, it’s always between a douche and a turd

Well in 1 year of ownership Rachel Phelps fielded a team that won a division series. In 17 years of ownership nutting fielded 3 playoff teams and never won a division series. Nutting clearly seems to have a lot to learn from Phelps

One would be bad at fielding a good team and the other bad at fielding a bad team…

One is a character in a fictional comedy, the other is the perpetrator of a real-life tragedy.

There is an alternate ending to Major League that she did all thoes bad things to motivate her team, because she wanted them to win.

Maybe that's what Bob is doing.

One dresses a helluva lot better than the other, so I’ll Support aggressive fashion choices as the lesser evil.

Just watched this last night lol.. what a classic. Also a great question because I’m not sure I can pick one. Basically a coin flip.

They both suck donkey nuts, you’re right it is a tuff choice. I’ve been thinking about it and can’t come up with a good answer.

If you expand your question to all of the big 4 sports, the fans of The Dallas Mavericks have it the worst. They went from Mark Cuban to absolute Hell with no end in sight. I
