About this episode

The episode discusses whether NFL owners should prioritize passion for their teams or financial decision-making.

Does owning an NFL franchise require heart... or just a sharp business mind? On this clip from Franchise Value, co-host Todd M. Schoenberger asks Shana Orczyk Sissel, CEO & Founder of Banríon Capital Management and author of Tough Minded, whether professional sports owners should be driven by passion for the team or disciplined financial decision-making. Shana explains why the answer isn't as simple as choosing between emotion and profit. She explores the powerful role of ego, the rarity of NFL franchise sales, the changing culture of fandom through fantasy football, and why billionaires continue to compete for one of the world's most exclusive investment assets. If you've ever wondered what really motivates NFL owners, this conversation offers a fascinating look inside the business of professional sports.
