How Disney Tried (and Failed) at Owning a Pro Sports Team

Today's podcast looks back at Disney's foray into professional sports ownership. I break down The Walt Disney Company's time as owners of both the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim and Anaheim Angels, analyzing what went wrong, how much money they lost, why it was doomed from the start and the 20-minute, $450,000 Mighty Ducks pregame intro that's so outrageous it sounds made up. Enjoy!
