They have an unusual ownership arrangement where two different groups -- the Mara and Tisch families -- each own 50% of the team. It's a legacy of the original ownership under Tim Mara in the 1920s. He left his team to his two sons, and his grandson Tim sold his half to Steve Tisch in 1990.
The whole arrangement is a recipe for disaster, and most of the franchise's problems over the years can be attributed to the challenge of running a business like this.
