It looks like David Braley may be selling the Lions is the future.
I still dont see him selling until after the 2011 Grey Cup, but he has hinted that he would be selling the Lions before the Argos.
The Lions have been a valued property in BC for some time and Braley could have sold the team multiple times.
If this does happen then really BC should be looking to make it a community owned team. This having to swap owners every few years in the on the privately held teams is annoying. Come on BC, make it YOUR team.
Oh come on, the least you can do is donate the empty beer bottles and cans consumed during the games.
Seriously though, there seems to be far more stability in a franchises future when it is community owned. Now is the time for this especially now with salary caps in place. It’s proven successful for Edmonton, Saskatchewan and Winnipeg.
Braley has said for a long time he would sell them if the right owner came along. He also said in an interview with Brian Williams that there are a few potential local owners, one of which is very serious about it.
