It’s Super Bowl time again. Â My favorite team made it deep into the playoffs but didn’t quite make it to Big Show this year.
My favorite pro sports team is the Green Bay Packers. Â It’s not because of what they do on the field or their star players. Â I’m not even much of a football fan (I’m more into baseball and basketball.)
The Green Bay Packers are awesome because they are the only non-profit, community-owned major league professional sports team in the United States.  They are owned by 360,000 shareholders, and no one is allowed to own more than 4% of the shares.
Packers shares are passed on to by family members, and sale of the stock is forbidden.  This unique structure ensures that the team remain in Green Bay, Wisconsin despite having the smallest market in North American pro sports.  (The city of Green Bay has a population of 104,000 and the metro area has 312,000 residents.)
