> Heck Rogers and Bell even have stakes in professional sports!
Rogers and Bell own two of the most popular (if not the two most popular) teams in Canada -- Rogers owns the Leafs, Bell owns the Canadiens.
- JTon 4y agoMight be a quibble but Rogers doesn't own the leafs. They own the jays. MLSE owns the leafs. Rogers has a partial ownership of the MLSE. Not sure stake but its not large
- ascagnel_ 4y agoTrue, Rogers indirectly owns part of the Leafs. But, when it's time for the team to make a decision on media, that'll generally be enough to swap that decision.
- JTon 4y agoWas curious about ownership stake and it's much larger than I remember. So I stand corrected on that aspect. Looks like BCE and RCI basically co-own the leafs at 37.5% respectively [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple_Leaf_Sports_%26_Entertainment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple_Leaf_Sports_%26_Entertai...
