The Worst One Percenters: Sports-Team Owners

The most dangerous fraction of the One Percenters are those who also own sports teams. They’ve got a finger on our fantasies. We’ve come to expect that those Billion Dollar Babies will ruin our lives, hasten our deaths, and be generally unaware of the details of our existences. That’s the way the ball has bounced through history. But in these high times of the so-called national passion, we can endure anything so long as we believe that someday our team will be No. 1.

I might have been right in 1989 when I thought Woody was kind of slow. After all, picking Romney over the Jets was honest and correct, if somewhat insensitive, not unlike Mitt on the 47 percenters, those losers you never need to think about, like us.
