Have you ever wanted to own your own sports franchise? Personally, I would really buy into an opportunity to be apart of a sports franchise. I came across a legit idea that I decided to actually promote. If I didn't buy into what these guys were doing 100%, then I wouldn't be pitching their idea for them.
Basically, all you have to do is visit their site and sign up for free. Once they get enough members they are going to sell you a share of the sports franchise for $59.99. At first I kind of thought this might be some kind of scam, but I investigated and found out these people just want to own a team. I think it makes sense for the fan to finally have a say. If you own a share of the company you get to vote on what the franchise does. Vote for the player and the coach you want. If you want you can even vote to fire the coach. The reason I am buying into this is because they are going to reinvest any profits back into the team. This means that nobody is making any money on this deal.
I hope they get enough people to sign up, but I can't help making one suggestion. Instead of trying to buy a NBDL or Triple A team, they should look at an IBL basketball team. The IBL plays in the spring and summer and the startup costs are low. The low barriers of entry would make sense, and they could start a brand new franchise anywhere in the world. What else is awesome is that they can hire their staff from the pool of owners.
Everyone interested in this should vist their website and the IBL website. If the team makes some money then they could consider investing in a more expensive league.
