What about the owners? Did they ban them too? Not the fake stockholders who paid three hundred bucks a few years ago to get a useless stock share, but the four hundred or so actual stock holders. I don’t know how their stockholder ticket deals work, but if they were able to each bring their immediate families with them, just having VIPs there would put a few thousand butts in seats.
The shares are identical.
Owners of the Packer stock have no delusion about what they own. The Packers are a publicly owned organization and the stock certificates are legitimate.
There is no dividend paid and the stock cannot be sold unless it is returned to the Packers and they reassign the shares. The owners are made fully aware of these conditions by the Packers before the shares are purchased.
What in effect is happening is that the Packers from time to time issue shares of their company. The Packers get the revenue they need to function and the Packer faithful get ownership in their team.
It beats the hold ups the rest of the league uses with their P.S.L.'s or government mandated fleecing of the population through an assortment of phony tax plans.
