The only reason professional sports teams - I shouldn't say the only reason, but the most important reason professional sports teams exist - is to win. And if you're not aiming to win, then you really don't belong owning a sports team, in my opinion. So you've got to be moving there.

I tried golf for a while, but I wasn't very good at it, so I didn't play a lot of golf. I enjoy all sports, not just football. I like basketball, baseball, and I got into the World Cup. So really, sports in general are my life, and football specifically.
