Does the NFL have the worst owners in professional sports?

Listening to Jets fans chant "sell the team" at Woody Johnson had me thinking about how many bad owners there are in the NFL.
David Tepper might be the worst owner in all of sports, Browns fans actively despise Jimmy Haslem for all the Watson shite, Dean Spanos is known for having fans loathe him, Dolphins fans want Stephen Ross to sell, etc etc.
Do the NBA, MLB, or NHL have this kind of hatred for the owners?

Yes. Threatening to move teams to other cities because multi-billionaire owners force the cities to build brand new stadiums for the teams, and the owner makes all the money that enters those doors.

The New Orleans Saints definitely do. A gold digging woman weaseled her way into something that she doesn’t give a damn about. She’s more worried about leaving a legacy, by legacy I mean putting her name on any and everything she can. She might be a decent person, but when it comes to the Saints, she doesn’t care.

Can't forget Irsay for the Colts and Brown in Cincy.
There are still NBA owners that are disliked but not like when Sarver and Sterling owned teams and the Knicks have been better so Dolan's kind of off the hook.

Jerry Jones doesn’t care enough about winning.

As businessmen, they are clearly the best.

He loves his football team too much but not enough to hand over control.

He is in a category of his own. He makes Daniel Snyder look like the Rooney family.

The A's owner makes Tepper look good.

Not many owners have three Super Bowls…

Soccer owners can definitely be the worst. Some have bought and then sent historic clubs into bankruptcy and insolvency.
The owners literally caused the teams to not exist anymore. That’s hard to beat.

The A’s and the Pirates have pretty awful owners

Quite a few terrible owners throughout NHL history.

And Jerry Jones ran off the people that could have given him more, but his ego wouldn’t allow it. 1994 or 2024, it doesn’t matter. He’s still the same egotistical asshat that he’s always been.

An eggplant can own an NFL team and make hundreds of millions every year simply due to the TV deals in place and the leverage the league has over TV producers and advertisers.
Does the NFL have some shite owners? Of course they do... But that's really only because we know every owner's name because the league is so huge. There are plenty of terrible NHL, MLB and NBA owners the masses don't even know exist.
Hell, the Chicago White Sox 100yrs ago threw a fricking championship because their owner was a cheapskate. Bad owners have been around forever in every league.

Thats not the preferred nomenclature.

He might be the most polarizing owner at the moment. He came in, fired a legendary coach, hired Jimmy, goes from 1-15 to dynasty. Ego decides he can’t handle Jimmy, and it’s been dogshit since. That said, the brand is about as strong as ever.

NFL ownership has pretty much nothing to do with football anymore. It's a status symbol/investment vehicle for billionaires.
The type of wealth necessary to own a team has gone through the roof.
Decades ago a regular local town multi-millionaire shcmo used to be able to get a team. Theres now only a few thousand people in the world who can afford to buy a team outright.

The large majority of current NFL owners either inherited the team, or, are 2nd or 3rd generation kids of the families who inherited and/or passed down obscene wealth. Not sure that means they are good in business,
