Professional football is a multi billion dollar business. It’s owners are multi millionaires who wield a great deal of power when it comes to hiring, firing, and trading of coaches, staff, and players.
Each season, the teams records are posted, talked about, and argued over; but, where does the won loss record rank among those millionaire owners???
Along with the majority of male owners are a few female – two with in the top five in winning percentage – and even one team that it owned by an entire community.
Only one team owner who bought – did not inherit – their teams are among the bottom teams in winning percentage.
So how do the current owner’s rank among the list of all 32 teams?
