Project Franchise hopes to raise enough money to purchase a minor league sports franchise and establish fan control. For five bucks, you can earn a vote in all team management decisions. Wikipedia has a list of fan-owned sports teams throughout the world, and predictably, there are only six franchises in the U.S. Props to the Green Bay Packers though, who’ve been fan-owned since 1923 and won 12 league championships. Then again, Steve Hofstetter isn’t sure fan decisions are a great idea.
