Green Bay Packers



This film will need an update.

Also...socialist main streeters. How dare they win on the Gipper's 100th birthday.

The Packers are the only non-profit, community-owned franchise in American professional sports major leagues.[18] Typically, a team is owned by one person, partnership, or corporate entity, i.e., a "team owner." The lack of a dominant owner has been stated as one of the reasons the Green Bay Packers have never been moved from the city of Green Bay, a city of only 102,313 people as of the 2000 census.[19]

Green Bay is the only team with this form of ownership structure in the NFL; such ownership is in direct violation of current league rules, which stipulate a limit of 32 owners of one team and one of those owners having a minimum 30% stake. However, the Packers corporation was grandfathered when the NFL's current ownership policy was established in the 1980s,[20] and are thus exempt. The Packers are also the only American major-league sports franchise to release its financial balance sheet every year.

From here.
