Yeah these owners are usually hated because they're out there making big moves to acquire players, and fans of other teams just seem to get jealous. Throw in a brash prediction here and there by one of those owners, and presto, you've got venemous hatred.

But really, the hatred is only based on the moves they make as owners. Maybe some personality traits rub people the wrong way too. But in the end people need to remember that they've never met these guys. It's kind of hard to judge someone accurately without meeting them.

I hate what Steinbrenner does to the game of baseball, but I'd sure want him as my team's owner. And I don't think your job defines who you are. He may be a ruthless owner, but he also might be a decent person. Same goes for Snyder and Jones. We'd never know unless we got to know them.
