Interesting article at Endless Cycling considering the fall of the working class cyclist. Like soccer, sports fanatic businessmen are gobbling up their favorite teams to own. Some take it a step further and actually want to participate.
Just like we're seeing the collision between celebrity stars actively entering the realm of politics are we witnessing nouveau-mill-billionaires crossing into sports culture? The new breed of player-owner? How long before one of those soccer owners decides he is good enough to play on a pro, for example, soccer team?
They call it Vanity Press in the publishing profession. What shall we call owners who want to be athletes? Vanity Sports?
