50 Most Valuable Sports Franchises - 2014
The Yankees are #4 at $2.5 billion, and the Cowboys are #5 at $2.3 billion. Here's the money quote:
The Yankees are the most valuable non-soccer team in the world with a worth of $2.5 billion.
The article doesn't specify what is included in a team's balance sheet when it assesses its value. Maybe they leave the stadiums out of the calculations for this list?
Who said anything about the capabilities of a single billionaire versus shareholders in handling $3.2 billion?
Not me. There is far more at issue than “handling” a large “amount of money.” You made an erroneous assumption about my point, jumped to a few erroneous conclusions, and then decided to be hateful, insulting, and manipulative because of your errors.
Sounds like butthurt syndrome to me. You know what to do. Grab a form, fill it out, and submit it.
You channeling Ray Rice today? Do please give me more of what I “deserve,” darlin’.
I believe the New York Yankees and Giants, at #4 and #10 on the Forbes list, respectively, are the only North American teams in the top ten that play in public venues. It's no surprise that New York teams are the most valuable franchises on their own, since they play in the largest consumer and media market in the U.S.
After the Yankees, the top four North American teams on that list are the Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Dodgers, New England Patriots and Washington Redskins ...
But taxpayers still paid for them. Idiots.
The Yankees are the most valuable non-soccer team in the world with a worth of $2.5 billion.
That was July. The Cowboys have surpassed the Yankees.

For the eighth consecutive year the Dallas Cowboys, worth $3.2 billion, are the league’s most valuable team. The only sports team worth more is Real Madrid, valued at $3.4 billion,1. Real Madrid - $3.4 billion
P.T. Barnum was right.
Indeed. It’s pure insanity.
