they are free to invest their money that way....but they aren't going to gamble their scion's NFL future with that clown show FO.  I bet Dion wouldn't let his kid go there either.

But that's the beauty of it ... First Mara takes the Manning family offer and pockets it, then he lets the Manning's run the team. They know everyone and could hire the best Coaches available, then draft their scion. Meanwhile Mara sits back and makes money while the Manning's turn the franchise around and increases the teams value.

Who would want to be a minority owner?

 

You lose a big chunk of your cash for nothing. You might get profits when the majority owner is willing to share. You have no say in operations. You only get the vanity of being an owner, that's some expensive vanity.

You receive a ridiculous return on your investment.

A minority share of a pile of poop is still poop.

When you resale your stake of ownership, you'll get a ROI.

 

But at other times, you'll only get cash profits when the majority owner is in the mood to dish out.

The Giants are not a "pile of poop" from a franchise valuation standpoint. They are the 4th most valuable franchise in the NFL.

That’s some expensive poop! And I know the going rate.

Who cares if they win or lose if they generate revenue for their ownership? I mean, the 5th most valuable franchise is the Raiders and the 7th is the NY Jets, so winning has nothing to do with it.
