No more free passes for team owners

We spend our time, our energy, and our hard-earned dollars cheering on our favorite sports teams. We have their backs no matter what. But do the owners of these teams have ours?

The answer is "no." But then the headlines on their anti-fan behavior fade from memory, and nothing gets better. Until now.

Owner Watch ends the free pass for the things they say and do. When owners say or act in a way that is anti-fan, we call them out on it.

See if the owner of your favorite team is on the watch, and if we missed something, tell us! Let's call it like we see it and hold every owner, in every league, accountable.
