Oh damn you DCharlie, I liked your sports analogy because I had a counter.
Counterpoint: THE SEATTLE FUCKING MARINERS.
The Mariners continually turn a profit every single season with ticket sales and merchandise. They pride themselves on being family friendly, so much so that they ask fans not bring in signs or wear shirts that say anything negative about the opposition (ie. they banned Yankees Suck shirts a while back). They also lobbied strongly against a strip club that ended up being built across the street from the stadium.
Back to that profit thing. The Mariners are terrible. They've been terrible for almost ten years now and pretty much for the entirety of the club's existence. They also refuse to spend money on acquiring any actual talent that would make the team better. They have the money to spend, but they won't, instead just putting out a shit team and making money. The fans here in Seattle fucking hate it, no one talks about how they're making money, everyone wants them to spend that money and get players.
Guess who owns the Mariners?
Guess who runs the team on a daily basis for Pimp Daddy Nintendo Man?
Howard Lincoln, the former chairman of Nintendo of America and the current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Seattle Mariners baseball team, representing absentee majority owner Hiroshi Yamauchi. (In August 2004, Yamauchi's shares were transferred to Nintendo as an estate planning measure, but as he remains chairman emeritus of Nintendo's board of directors, he is still considered the team's owner.)
Coincidence? Probably, but NO FUCKING WAY.
