Maybe this deserves it's own thread, but apparently a plane carrying an entire Brazilian Serie A team just crashed in Colombia and most of the players might be dead:

I'm following the news, Chapecoense was heading to Colombia for the first leg of the Sudamericana Cup finals. Lots of conflicting reports, but no deaths confirmed as of now. Lots of injuries tho.
Well that would be fantastic. Before posting I'd seen a Tweet that had said there were ~25 dead and 45-50 injured.

I think the ability for clubs to become publicly traded is just a continuation of what has already happened in Europe. I want to say at least one team in every one of the "big" leagues is available for trading on their domestic stock exchange if not elsewhere. Capitalism!
Wasn't Manchester United fully a PLC until the Glazers snapped up enough shares to take them back private?

Those are non-voting shares too. I don't get the appeal.
The same reason why people buy "shares" of the NFL's Green Bay Packers.

I OWN PART OF A LEGENDARY TEAM!!!!!!!!!!
