Some NFL team might go ahead and give him a small fraction of ownership in lieu of compensation. He’d have absolutely zero say in how the team is run, and his stake would be tied to whatever decisions the majority owner of the team makes. He’d be a fool to take that instead of cash that he can invest on his own.
Some employees are too problematic regardless of what they can do. I’d pass on this guy.
Even a tiny ownership stake in a multibillion dollar company that never loses money is good cash for a long time. All the way up until it gets sold. And even then, there’s a nice cash out.
Exactly!
Here’s your 1 or 2% share of ownership. You can’t sell this share to anyone outside of current ownership for 35 years.
