I'm disappointed that the Green Bay Packers didn't win this past weekend. Not that I care much about sports or football in general, or even the Superbowl, but because the Packers are the exception to the rule when it comes to sports. Unlike all the other professional teams (as far as I'm aware of), they are the only team to be owned by the fans rather than a private owner. That's the reason why they are still in Green Bay, instead of having moved to a larger advertising market.

Radley Balko, a libertarian blogger whom I like to read, covers why private ownership is bad in his review of conflicting claims by the Seattle basketball team, which wants to get out of its arena contract in Seattle so it can move to Oklahoma City, where it wants the city to build it a new arena. If teams were owned by the public in each city, these kinds of shenanigans wouldn't be commonplace--and there'd be a little more reason to root for the home team.
