Bruce Beal Jr, the man who Ross basically pegged as the next Dolphin owner should anything happen to him, was at the introduction PC yesterday pictured here:
I’ve gotten the sense Ross might be tiring of owning the Dolphins and all the losing and headaches it comes with. With the super bowl finally being hosted in his stadium next year, that would culminate a long held dream of his... makes me wonder if he is already thinking about life after the Dolphins.
Sadly Beal would be another out of town and Manhattan businessman owner... and only 48 years old... I’m really not fond of the idea of the Dolphins being owned by some Manhattan hotshot for the next few decades. Just hasn’t worked out well so far and I can’t see it working out all that well in the future.
Is there another franchise that has been successful with an ownership arrangement like this?
Beal at this moment is only a successor in a transition part with the first right. He still has to be approved by the owners when he would choose to become the owner. The only approval from the NFL is the succession plan which puts Beal in a managerial position (more like a trust fund type).
