Pour plus de sports et d’informations aléatoires, visitez The Touchback : https://thetouchback.com La réinstallation des Coyotes de l’Arizona dans l’Utah nuit à un groupe de personnes. Des fans. Des fans qui ont accueilli un sport d’hiver dans le climat le plus anti-hivernal malgré une flopée de propriétaires stupides et maladroits, incapables ou peu disposés à faire fonctionner les choses. Oui, l’équipe a perdu beaucoup d’argent au fil des ans. Mais à aucun moment dans l’histoire ces différents propriétaires n’ont eu quoi que ce soit qui ressemble à un plan à long terme. Parfois, les Coyotes étaient bons sur la glace. Ils étaient aussi absolument tragiques. Mais le problème de la mauvaise propriété sportive en Arizona ne se limite pas aux Coyotes. Chaque équipe a souffert de mauvais propriétaires. Les Bidwell sont avares, ce qui rend les Cardinals de l’Arizona mauvais. Robert Sarver était intrusif et un mauvais gars, même s’il a depuis été évincé de son poste de patron des Phoenix Suns. Pendant ce temps, Ken Kendrick est apathique envers à peu près tout ce qui concerne le baseball des Diamondbacks de l’Arizona, à l’exception de l’obtention de fonds publics pour la modernisation du stade. Eh bien, ça et ça commence un petit drame. En fin de compte, accordons un moment à ces pauvres fans de sport de l’Arizona qui doivent supporter ces propriétaires incrédules. Je sais que je vous ai donné du fil à retordre dans le passé, mais vous méritez certainement bien mieux que cela. À propos de The Touchback #takeitouttothe25 The Touchback est le meilleur site Web sportif et culturel au monde… ou quelque chose comme ça. Soit vous l’aimerez vraiment, soit vous le détesterez vraiment. Mais cela vaut la peine d’être lu de toute façon.

Need to do one for Chicago too
If the coyotes were gonna move, Houston would've made more sense because it's more central compared to Salt Lake City. Salt Lake City is too far west to be in the central. Move the Chargers to Salt Lake City, l don't want another scenario where a city has NBA, MLS and maybe one day MLB and NHL, but no NFL just like Los Angeles from 1995-2015.
Ken Kendrick the worst? Interesting….
Let's not forget that Bidwell also moved the cardinals not because of poor attendance. It was because he wanted to retire in Arizona.
Great video. The only Phoenix pro sports team that has had decent owners is the Rising of the USL Championship (the 2nd tier of American soccer behind MLS) who have seen nothing but success since they entered the league & are currently the defending champions. One of the owners is Chelsea legend Didier Drogba who also played for the club for a season in 2017. However the existence of the Rising has been threatened over the years by MLS's increasing desire to expand to Phoenix which would likely create the same scenario that soccer fans in San Diego experienced when San Diego FC was announced as the next MLS expansion club which forced the USL club to shut down. For those wondering why the Rising simply just joins MLS as part of MLS's expansion to Phoenix, it is because they want to help USL grow as a league & build it up to be an alternative to MLS. They also know that if they did join MLS, they would likely be forced to relocate to State Farm Stadium from their current stadium that they built themselves by Sky Harbor Airport & force their fans to commute out to Glendale which would really hurt fan support since most of the Rising's fans live in Phoenix or Tempe.
The NFL Cardinals weren't very successful in Chicago, nor St. Louis before. I remember when the Philadelphia Eagles almost moved to Phoenix. It wasn't because the team was bad nor because fans didn't show. It was because the team's owner had huge, inescapable personal debt. Shortly after, Packer legend Bart Starr and a group of investors tried to get the region an NFL expansion team — the Arizona Firebirds. I'm not sure why this never came to fruition.
As an Arizona native….yeah we suck. It’s a permanent condition amongst many of the transplants out here. These owners are “middle class” people in other states, then move out here because it’s cheap and they can pretend to be rich. The Diamondbacks are the biggest joke amongst all the teams in my opinion. Half the league trains in Phoenix metro during spring training yet they can’t afford to chase after many of the choice free agents who live in their own metroplex. The Cardinals are truly a massive disappointment. They built a solid stadium on the cheap, made a huge success on Latino outreach marketing and really got Christian conservatives to fall for the team when Kurt Warner played quarterback. But they still can’t win. And so many NFL players live in Arizona due to the Scottsdale party life.
I guess we should cheer on the true studs in this state….the Rattlers and the Phoenix Mercury.
The Coyotes problems were more than just ownership issues. That franchise was a wreck from top to bottom.
I think NHL teams belong where people really love hockey🤷♂️ many cities in Canada would do well, maybe Milwaukee or Grand Rapids MI, Toledo etc… just a thought. I know media markets seem to control where teams go but that doesn't always matter in the NHL
It will be at least five years before a hockey team comes back here. The NHL will wait out Alex Meruelo and his ROFR.
If you could do a video of Mariners ownership lead by John Stanton & his leadership skills of profits over actually sustained winning.
Put the Crown on Rober Sarver….he was the worst.
The three indoor football team in AZ all have committed owners who regularly compete for titles year in and out. It's something.
Look up Leonard Lesser and the Phoenix Fire.
Ken Kendrick is a guy that if our fanbase wasn’t so apathetic, and American fanbases were more vocal, we’d give him the Allam Family treatment (also known as protesting an owner like Hull City did to the Allams even the team is winning)
As a Diamondbacks fan since they won the World Series on the day I was born in 2001, I will be sick to the stomach if this team moves away from Arizona. Even as a fan from Houston, this team is forever a part of my life and it won't be the same if they moved.
I was going to say that someone should name a team the Desert Dogs, and then I discovered the Las Vegas Desert Dogs of the NLL.
Perhaps an NLL franchise could fill in for the missing NHL one in the Valley of the Sun.
As long as the Bidwellʼs own the Cardinals they won’t get a cent of my money nor a smidgen of my interest. They have no desire to field a winning team, it costs too much. They have lost more games than any other team in the NFL. The team has gone through 1000ʼs of players, 100ʼs of coaches and GMʼs, the only constant was the miserable pricks, the Bidwells.
