The worst sports owners of all-time
The Feed has his Top 10 list together, and amazingly hockey's Bill Wirtz/Harold Ballard tag team is not at the very top of it.
Although they're mighty close.

I guess mafia connections and moving a team to 3 different markets and failing in each one is pretty impressive. I think the main reason Wirtz is #1 for hockey is that he killed the sport's popularity, not just the franchise's reputation because of his incompetence, but I'd say Ballard was by far more sleazy.
The fact that Jeremy Jacobs doesn't even get a mention tells just how terrible these owners really are. Though I suppose if he owned the Celtics like Dolan does the Knicks, he'd get mentioned.
